The Moon

[jar_e]

Hello,

Here's the moon. And that's about it!

Comments, critiques, all accepted.

The main thing I want to know if whether or not this idea works, to just have the moon on the sky, with no other subjects!

Thanks,

Jared

I like it as is, no other objects necessary. love the tones and I think I've said this many times, I'm quite in love with minimalism

Edit: only one thing though, maybe if you crop it a bit tighter to make the moon a bit bigger. that's all.

Dear Jared,

I would have to agree with Lee. If you are going to make the moon the subject without anything else, then make it bigger. Other than that, a good picture. Other things to try are multiple exposures, harvest moons, etc. Good luck.

Dzerzhinski/LeeIS,

Thanks for the words. I'll have to crop this and try a tighter crop later tonight!

Thanks,

Jared

Hello Jared
Lovely tones and easy on the eye: I see what you are getting at here. I agree with what others have said about cropping and I'm also wondering if this would look good in a portrait style format with less sky to the right.

I like the use of negative space , and I would agree with Tom about this looking better as a vertical shot. Not bad at all , and it does work as it is.

Tom and Gary,

Thanks for the words and I'm now curious to see what a vertical shot would look like. Would the moon still be in the top left for the vertical shot too?

Thanks,

Jared

I wouldn't change a thing - but thats just me, I think its terrific.

Is this from a Digital or Film?

Roger, thanks for the words.
It's digital, my film skills are weak and I probably rely too heavily on digital!

Hello Jared
This is what I had in mind though I have to admit that it's not exactly as great as I imagined it would be. Still think the vertical is better by a little. It's great either way.

Interesting crop. I like it, and think i'll make two copies of it (a horizontal and vertical).

Thanks Tom,

The cropped version really seems to work better for this picture.

What a bout a composite with other phases of the moon added?
