Hi Jeff

I like the placement in frame a lot Sweet in every way !!!

Nice details and sharp, the color give me a mysterious feel and I like it. Was the moon red like this or did you play round with white balance?
Haven't seen a moon for while already, rainy season and every time I looked up always blanket of clouds.

Beautiful!!!! What more can I say, Congrats!!

Thank you Richard, I love your work.

Than,

The moon was in an unusual state that week causing it to have a red/orange tone. I forgot the cause but remember the weatherman talking about it and that motivated me to take the pictures that night. That being said, I gave the saturation dial a little extra turn in CS4 to enhance the effect a tad. But it was dark and mysterious as the photo demonstrates.

Nicely done Jeff! These are hard shots to get right and you did an excellent job on this one. Nice details on the craters around the terminator.

Thanks Kerry, I love moon shots and the craters are a plus.

Excellent Jeff,
I like it...the details are sweet and so is the color rendition...:cool:

Thanks Gus.
