Thanks Guys,

Yes, this is one PP pic I went to town on.

It's actually a bright blue sky behind it late in the afternnon, I pasted a moon in there on the left side so it shines on the right side of the tree as the sunlight does with the shadows on the other side, converted to B&W dropped the levels a bit and presto.
And to top it off put a bit of OMNI Light around the moon area, it just gives the glow you need

I'm happy how it turned out as well, gave the shot a lot more mood and polished up my PP skills a bit more.

Thanks for the comments.

Mic :wink:

Great image - I was wondering how you could take a moon shot at f/8, 1/1600s with a 50mm and the moon can appear so large :) - nice work on the PP. That tree has a great structure.
