Last Night's Crescent
Haven't been able to shoot much lately, but last night was a classic Arizona moonset, and Venus just happen to come along for the ride. Nothing mind-blowing, just loosening the rusty gears and starting to shoot more (again). Feel like the Tin Man... :biggrin:

Saw this exact scene, color and all, walking out of the grocery last night. Glad someone got it ;)

Like the colors in the sky and the foreground elements. Very nice.

I really like the colors, Paul, but I'm not fond of that tree on the right. Did you get a comp with just that cactus as a foreground element?

Ditto on the colors. :toast:

Double ditto on the colors.

Thanks gang... as far as colors, the skies sure make it easy around here. :wink:

Paul, I didn't happen to catch a version without the bulbous tree, but I see what you mean. Hmmmmm, do I try the new content-aware healing brush in CS5 on that... :eek:

Nope, I'll just go for a better comp next month! I took this image on my street, in our cul-de-sac... I'll see if the neighbor will cut that tree down for me.

Great comp. I like it.
