It's been a while since I posted here but things habe been so busy here lately. This is an image I took about a year ago at Kakadu National Park, Australia. This was one of the most beautiful moonsets I've ever witnessed.

This is very special. The hues and mist are sweet, and the distorted moon reflection adds even more.

Beautiful scene Bill, real nice color light and comp, and the fog lifting off the water brings the scene to life. Beautiful work.

This is beautiful, with a great mood to it. I think it also works well darkened down quite a bit to match the feeling of the late (or early) light with the moon.

The pastels and mist add to the peaceful feel.

I have seen many blue and pink sunsets , but this one is very special with the moon and the ethereal reflections in the fog

Exquisite image, Bill. Very dreamy scene and colors. The dead trees on the right provide a great counterpoint to the green on the left.

Works for me. Great pastel color details. I agree with Harley that would also work well darkened a bit.

Well done, Bill!
