I really like the color of the moon and the three stars trailing add a lot to the composition of the image.

Sandy: This is actually sunlight but no matter to me; its excellent. I shot this same eclipse but didn't get anything near this compelling. 2 thumbs up.>=))>

Great capture, Sandy! I like the details visible on the moon with the varying shades of light. The three stars trailing the moon add a lot to the comp of this image. I'll say this is moonlight. . .after all, what is moonlight but reflected light from the sun? :smile:

Is that the belt of Orion in front of the moon? Very neat image. I think your liner may be just a whisker too prominent.
