Merry Christmas to you as well Gabi!

This turned out very well! I like the composition and light balance throughout with the moonburst adding a very nice touch to the scene. Very nicely done overall.

This is lovely work Gabi. What is the history of this cross? Where is it situated?
I love the nocturnal mood...the moonburst is great, though I would have considered making another exposure at f22 for an even better "burst" and blend that back into this frame.

@ Roman: Thanks for your comment.:)
@ Morkel: This cross is built near a monastery atop a mountain in northern Romania. Thanks for the tip Morkel, I'll try next time.:)

HI Gabi, very nice composition of a special place! Excellent handling of the lighting. Morkel makes a good point about the moonburst.

[Robert Amoruso]

Good tip from Morkel and thanks for letting us know where this is Gabi. A very interesting structure and great image of it.

Wonderful image, very well composed and thought out.
