Beautifull and dramatic composition Alan! The contrast between the tree and the great sky is perfect. I know how hard it is to catch a sky like this as normally we only have a few minutes in which the sky stays this colour. Perfect timing. TFS!

Quite a dramatic picture Alan!
It would be nice if the moon was big and beautiful and more than just a white dot in this composition, but everything else fits perfect!
Thanks,
Dave

A full English, breakfast I assume? LOL!! Wonderful image. I like how the moon is framed by the limbs. Excellent compo and colors.

The party Friday was loud and rowdy, we went through about 30 bottles of wine, 30 beers and a bottle of vodka (and that was just Steve and I, LOL!!). Didn't take any pics, I was too busy being the hostess.

Have a great week. Your friend from the land of excessive wine consumption,

This is great Alan! Very well composed and artful presentation. The early light and graduated BG colors of the sky are excellent.
Your POV with the deadwood branches framing the moon "top" it off nicely. Very well done.
Merry Christmas my friend!

Hi Alan, what a super composition, stunning colours and sharpness.
I hope you had a good Chiristmas. We had a hot, sunny and windless day, just what we wanted. And some of the family went swimming at the beach too.
I believe that snow is expected in some areas tonight for you.
Cheers, Janice

Thank you very much.
Sorry, I have no time to write a good comment.

Merry Christmas to you and to those whom you cherish, Alan, and thanks for sharing your beautifull pictures. I really believe that it is worth to make it to be in contact with our increasingly small world.
I am at Granby with my father. We have a great time together preparing the banquet to come for Christmas.
Take care my young friend.
Happy New Year Alan!

Hi Alan, very good compo with the moon behind the tree silhouette, the orange color contrast with the black is very good.

Excellent... Don't know how I missed it. Lovely compo and colors. Perfect placement in the frame. I would consider cloning out the moon as I believe it is a bit distracting.
