Calm Night

Although these images work terrible for prints (and sales) they do portray a mood I am especially fond of. I love the night! I often like to walk around in the wilderness at night without the use of my headlamp. There is a certain quiet an awe about it. The stars are a big plus. For me this image captures that mood very well! Great job.

Beautiful scene Abdulmajeed, I absolutely love the framing with the branches that you've done - they seem so appropriate for the mood.

Mark - I'm not sure what you mean by these kinds of images doing terrible for prints and sales, as I've sold quite a few twilight images (relative to other sales). Yes, they require a lot of care and consideration when printing so that they don't come out too dark, but if you do the printing right, in my experience, people love them!

hi abdulmajeed,

very nice shot. the framing is very nice and i like the varied shapes.i might look to clone out that large star in the very edge on the right

I just love the branches you included here for the frame. That lifts this well above many 'starscapes' to my eye. What ISO did you use?

Really like the scene and the light. Just a thought that adding a crescent moon with earthlight illuminating the dark side would really put this over the top.

Oh so nice Abdulmajeed. The subtle details in the shadows are exceptional, and as noted the branches framing the top are a wonderful addition. What a great mood.
