I was going though some of the different sections that BP has to offer and one of the sections I found had to do with before and after looks from different artist and I found some of yours right away. No dought this one will be added to the catagory.
I love both versions and what you were able to see and experience with the rising moon, both so gorgeous in colors and looks, love the clouds of the first one and the look and feel if it. I especially love the location of the moon and how we get to see how it raised. All the effort you put forth really payed off with this beautiful work my friend. Incredible. #9143442

Terry Cervi level-deluxe January 04, 2011

A very cool shot, Jeff! #9143540

Rona L. Schwarz January 04, 2011

Both are outstanding, Jeff - love the moonrise with Venus - a very special capture beautifully composed and presented! I continue to be so impressed that you get up at these insane(to me!) hours - how can you see? When do you sleep? Seriously, your effort and hard work is justly rewarded with unique images that nobody else has. #9143561
