Blushing Moon

Second image from the coast of Olympic NP. Sunrise and Moonset was within short time frame of each other and the distance thin layer of cloud was catching the faint light from the sun which was still below the horizon.

5DII, 0.4sec, ISO 400, 100mm, 1 image processed in PS, cropped in to avoid a wave that is turning.

C&C welcomed, and thanks for looking.

Just lovely Zhoen, it inspires such a feeling of peace and calm. I would try adding a tiny bit of canvas along the bottom and darkening the top 1/5 of the image above the moon a little. The colors are perfect.

Terrific image, Zhoen. Love the colors and the step-like layers. Beautiful. Chet

I like the colors and the depth of the waves and consistency of them. I don't care for the centered moon

Fantastic wave action all topped off with the full moon and pastel colored sky. This is very nicely done, Zhoen. This is just a personal preference, but if the moon were a bit off center it would add a little more visual tension to the scene. Either way this is a beauty.

I like the layered composition, symmetry and colours very much.

I really like the colors in this Zhoen and the wave action looks great also. I could see the moon off centre a bit also. But a very peaceful scene that's very well done. Great job on this.

The gentle colors are great and you've caught some fine wave action. The full moon adds considerably to the interest in the sky. Very peaceful and pleasing.

This has a very nice and calm feel to it, which I really appreciate. The centered moon really helps contribute to the calm feeling by giving a sense of symmetry.

Pretty pastels, and nice movement.

Beautiful shot. Symmetry and soft colors do it for me.
