[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Moon came up last night and I was there..I took 100 shots adusting the settings as the moon rose up over Lake Erie where I live on the shore. At this point in time I am looking across the lake towards the USA. Couldn't help but look how the cloud almost forms the shape of a hand holding up the big moon. :o)

Hi Donna,
A very nice capture...It is very difficult to get the Moon and show any detail of the surrounding area...You did a fine job...

Hola Donna,
interesante trabajo,
y siluetas,
realmente original,
saludos

Just beautiful. I saw it rise over a McDonald's Outlet. Not close to this wonderful picture of light an dark silhouettes. You were blessed to be in the right place at the right time. And with your camera of course.

Hi Donna,
What at coincidence I was with my wife the last night on the Fort Lauderdale beach watching the raising moon
comment how beautiful was, a couple thousand miles away but contemplation the same,
Coming back to the shot, simple fantastic, TFS.
Best regards/lawhill

Hello Donna,
You are right, it looks like a hand. Amazing picture full of peace and serenity. It gives somehow confidence to see that.
Thanks and best regards

Hello Donna,
Strong atmosphere!
You have quite a view from your windows...
The moon is well captured here, never looks like this when I do my lousy trials!
Greetings,

Hi Donna

Back from my travels now and time to catch up again...

I really like the shot liek this... the moon works really well with just enough light to make out the foreground tree...

Hello Donna,
Cool shot. Well managed in uneasy light conditions. Wonderful colours, great composition bordered by the tree silhouette.
Best greetings from Poland!
