  6. The first one is my favorite. Very well done -- shooting a full moon is not ever an easy task.

    And thanks so much for changing your comment settings. I'm so happy to be able to comment now. :)

  11. They are both exquisite, but I absolutely LOVE the first one! I love how the shadowy, lacy leaves frame the moon.

    Now those are glimpses of heaven on earth of the most divine kind!

  13. I do like the first one -- maybe because it is a bit brighter and you can see clouds and and the trees framing it nicely. Hope your day is great. Tammy

  17. I like the first shot, because you can see more of the branches of the tree which has captured the moon, but I love the colour in the second. Hard to say which I like better!

  18. Very nice. I have taken a few photos of the moon and I have tried to expose it so that the moon comes out looking correctly exposed and I have to date not really liked what I have done.

    These really show me another way of doing it though and to expose for the way the moon lights up everything around them. I really like these.
