"Moonlight drowns out all but the brightest stars" - JRR Tolkien

Successful capture of a difficult subject with good tonal range. The graphic and its placement dominates the beautiful moon.

The blood moon provides a unique opportunity to flood the sky with monochromatic light, softly illuminating stately pine trees.

Strong diagonal lines against the luminous moon evokes an eerie atmosphere. Sharper focus on the pines in front of the moon would enhance the contrast.

"Always remember we are under the same sky, looking at the same moon." - Victoria Erickson

The vast scale, rich tonal range, and strong leading lines create a breathtaking image

"Magical Harvest Moon" illuminates hillside of stubble of recently harvested wheat providing an almost unreal vista. Palouse, Eastern Washington.

The detail and rhythmic lines of the grasses draws the viewer's eye into the photograph. Inconsistent light sources confuse the eye.

Waxing Crescent Moon over the Painted HiIls of Oregon.

Technically superb detail throughout this image. Greater tonal range would enhance the impact of the image.

Moonrise over Sacred Heart Church, Galveston

Look at that moon! Strong second. Slightly greater tonal range would have added more depth to the photograph.
