Harvest Moon in March

Gallery: Man & NaturePosted March 6, 20153,322 views5 comments

Full moon on the horizon. The big orange moon rising over the farms in the Platte River Valley. The sun had gone down about 10 minutes before the moon came up allowing me to get detail in the landscape. Thanks for you comments and critiques.

Great look at the moon, Richard. I also like how the strips of clouds across the bottom of the moon are mimicked by the fields. The light balance between the moon and the landscape is excellent.

I like this a lot Richard. Just something about the big red moon and all those Platte River farms - a great combination. Really takes me back to that part of the country.

Well taken Richard! Very well! I like the detail you have in the FG as well as the trace of clouds in front of the moon. Might take a look at croping out more of the FG, just to see what it looks like. Thanks for sharing.
