The Moon Turns Its Clockwork Dreamby *catch---22

Photography / Photojournalism / Natural Events

The moon turns its clockwork dream.
The biggest stars look at me with your eyes.
And as I love you, the pines in the wind
want to sing your name with their leaves of wire.

In a general sense, I find this photo both beautiful and interesting. Obviously, capturing such a gorgeous full moon is great work, but, on top of that, the detail and color that you were able to preserve here is amazing, especially when considering the low light setting, the amount of zoom, and the need for iso adjustment. You should truly be proud of this! In comparing this to your other photography, it becomes evident that you are a seasoned and talented photographer. The only thing I will mention about this photo is that, to me, because of the placement of the moon, I feel like the overall photo lacks a little focus. What I mean is that there is a lot of open, black space with no stars or color to draw further interest around the photo. Thus, it is a large photo containing an non-centered moon on a simple black background. Not that this is necessarily a bad thing because, honestly, I like it not centered, as well. In the grand scheme of things, though, this is a wonderful piece of work, and I can only hope to get there with my photography someday! Nice job!
