I like the idea - looks like black ink in water. The tinge of red is also good. I would have liked two other elements - more black in upper right, and the moon to be pointing into the frame rather than out.

Thats something totally different for you David. Yes I can see the face about quarter way down on top left. Took a few minutes though. :smile:

A lot to see in what initially appears to be a simple image - I like it :toast:

I like it a lot but I don't think that most of the viewers realise the significance of the title!! Hence the different crop suggestions. :toast:

Thanks for the comments folks :wavey:

The spot is Venus inferior (Below) to the Moon.

Maggie

I can see your face just about, my face is in between the Moon and Venus ( the spot)

Andy G. You're right.
