Wow - I love a bit of experimentation and the rework has paid dividends - I'm trying to work out how you could make it look even more extraterrestrial (if that was your aim) - blue colour shift on the foreground? - more sky to emphasise it's 'out of worldliness'? More contrast in the sky to match the rocks? Seems like there is too much light on the foreground for what appears to be a night shot - just being picky sorry, as I really like it

Super processing

Actually for those in the know about astrophotography and long-exposure night photography, it is quite realistic that a 30 second exposure under a full moon can nearly look like daylight. The difference is, that under a full moon, the sky does become washed out and loses contrast.

I don't want to make it look TOO otherworldly no. I think it is hard enough to convince a viewer of the realism of a day/night combination, let alone messing with the colours too much. I think the more it looks like a photo rather than a manipulation, the better. Not sure I achieved that here, but I am confident that I can develop the skill.

Thanks mate!

Ah - ok, sorry Barry. Yet another example of me getting the wrong end of the stick with my comments.

Because of your caption, I thought you were actually after a 'spacey rock' effect, rather than a natural, full moon at night effect, on earth.

Pulls head in again.....

No no! Don't get me wrong Alan! I love your comments!

Cheers Barry - hey, it's fine - it's just an occasional peeve of mine about how one is meant to comment on some photos, without a rough idea of what the poster was trying to achieve. I'm just as guilty.

Keep up the great cosmic work

Cheers
