The Moon, a photo from Sharon, Central

Photographer's Note

There is not any manipulation with any editing program in this picture!

This was taken about year ago, I used the internal flash of the camera to lit the leaves that I was behind when I took this picture.

The PP that I did is a crop and a little levels correction, the colours are for real, the moon was rising so this is the reason for the yellow/orange colour and the grean around it were the leaves that are away from the DOF because the focus is on the moon as you see.
I hope that you will like it.

Very clever use of flash. I like it. I'm surprised at the short exposure time, are you sure that's correct? Maybe I'm underestimating the luminescence of the moon.

I like the colors and the framing is nice. The moon is beautiful as always.

Very nice composition. I like the way you have managed the blur and the light of the moon is really nice Elroyie.
Well done.

J'aime bien l'effet naturel qu'il y'a autour et en version original (grand format ) cette photo doit etre extra !

ce qui est suprenant c'est que j'ai post� il y a quelques jours une photo de la lune et on y voit 嶲alement le crat鋨e sur la partie basse ;-)

en revanche pourquoi le flash ? Pour eviter les yeux rouges des martiens :-)

Magnifique image de la lune. Tres reussi.

Hi Elroyie. First I thought post processing indeed. I like your idea of including the leaves the way you did. It makes the photo more special than the usual sea of blackness around it.

Very creative shooting, Elroyie - using the flash to illuminate the blurry foreground leaves. The result is really splendid, with the moon making a grand appearance in all its detail, and in a fine luminosity. The moon is of course also well positioned in the frame. Good job.

A very fine and moody moon-shot :-) A great idea you got and with a very fine result - thanks Elroyie - I like it very much.

Hi elroyie. A very special shot of themoon with an excellent DoF setting. THe position of the moon on the corner provides a strong impact. I think that I'll try a partial de-saturation on this one. See my WS. Very good job.
