    What do you see?

    I just rediscovered this image in my gallery. I had kinda forgotten it. I would like to know what ya'll see when you look at it?


    Please don't be afraid to be frank. I am not expecting a critique, (if I wanted that then I would have gone to that forum), I am just looking for impressions.

    To me it's clearly a shot of some trees with possibly some sort of burn.

    "Some sort of celestial object."

    " To me it's clearly a shot of some trees with possibly some sort of burn."
    This isn't a guessing game. I want you guys to use your imaginations. If there isn't enough fodder there in my image for that then please forgive me for trying this with it.

    No, Almo I meant "I see some sort of a celestial object." It's not a guess, it's a repsonse I see that black dot as some sort of a black hole, dark sun, dark moon, that's what my personal filter sees it as.

    I'm not sure what it is you're looking for though - care to be more specific?

    I guess I missinterpreted your meaning.

    Sorry.

    It's the moon btw.
