Ian,
Just outstanding photo. Right up my alley and you executed this very well. For what ever reason, as you were there, you placed the moon and planets on the right of the frame. I would have placed them on the left, but that is just me. I still love this.

If you contemplate the sublimity of The Sublime then all suspicion will sublimate into certainty about what you are seeing and what you saw and what you will see. The fog of illusion will then vanish and only Reality will remain without any doubt or suspicion. |

Beautiful Ian. I don't know what the temp was when to shot this, but the bottom looks very cold to me (beautiful, but cold). Very, very nice.

Hi Bill
It was certainly pretty crisp but also totally windless so no wind chill concerns. My overwhelming memory though was just how staggeringly clear it was that particular evening.

Beautiful, I really like the wonderful color transition from water to sky and the placement of moon/stars. The larger image was a pleasure to view. Well seen and well done.

Ian,
I'm always a sucker for twilight colors. You've done a fantastic job with managing space and of course the crescent moon always "shines" in these compositions. Well done.
I almost wouldn't mind letting the island formations just go all the way to black. very minor, but they almost have a little cloudy look. No biggie.

Hi Loni It's actually sea spray it was a really rough sea yet it all looks so calm and placid from up here. very odd but if you look half way up the slope in the bottom right corner the sea spray/mist actually peters out and the land becomes almost clear and is nearly in silhouette. Creatively I could be persuaded to dim the islands down to black.

Whoa! Ian! This is so dramatic and painterly. The strong violet in the sky is really something. Masterful comp, as always. Your description says very well in words what the image conveys. Couldn't agree more. Congrats on the Pick!
