I guess with the 'exaggerated' moon that these shot's / pieces would be deemed abstract
The basis for the piece's was my monthly comp entry
I think i prefer the first one personally, but keep returning to the second (disregarding the nasty font) for another peep........

The second ones a looks great but even though the theme is an exaggerated moon I still think it could be a little smaller! _________________ My oppinion is just my oppinion,nothing more |

I agree about the first shot, it has more of a sci-fi feel to it that works. _________________

I prefer the second (think that might be down to the colours though).
The moon could be a little smaller I think, and maybe some reflection/highlight on the water too? |

its under a category called 'abstract' (shouldn't that ought to suggest that its somewhat unreal?).......
Its also 'abstract' due to the fact that you'll NEVER see a moon in a setting sun sky (think about it ) _________________ Bring on the snow, for I feel the need to ride..... |

I met someone a while back who absolutely refused to believe that the moons light was reflected sunlight. I can't now remember what they thought was going on because my ghast was too flabbered. I walked away and must confess I had serious doubts about their place in the food chain. _________________

Reminds me of someone on another forum who is a really good photographer, but has a habit of adding an image of the moon to some of his pictures. Invariably, the shadows cast on the moon are from a different (opposite) direction than those cast from the sun in the rest of the image. I pointed that out to him one day and he basically told me I was nuts and the shadows were fine.
um, OK... |

You will prob not see a moon at all it about 30 years given the fact its falling out of earths gravity at 4cms a year.
Just thought Id add that.  _________________ My oppinion is just my oppinion,nothing more |

4cm a year for 30 years = 120cm - 4 feet in old money, think the moon will still be in the sky along with a few of us TOG's _________________ -----------------------------------------------------

now now Keith - that sky is waaaaay false!
@ Chris - it think at 4cm a year even your kids kids kids (should I be bold enough to assume you have / will have some one day) will be able to see it!
Even if not, getting there will be cheap as chips, so we could all just pop out to see it!  _________________ Bring on the snow, for I feel the need to ride..... |

I think it was the fact the moon was 8.5cm further away that threw me....
