Landscape of Earth and Sky - Moon and Earth's Shadow

This is my image showcasing the beautiful rural landscape, right after sunset. The (1 day before) full moon rises, and the skies are crystal clear. Even though the weather was perfect that night, the moon phase wasn't the most appropriate for Deep Sky Astrophotography. However, beauty is always in the sky, as this image depicts.

Please do note that this image also shows a little bit of our own planet's shadow, right above the horizon, it appears as a darker region. And above the Earth's Shadow, it is possible to see the so called Belt of Venus, as a reddish/orangeish glow. The tree that is highlited is a a species of pine, that's relatively commom in Brazil and in MG, but is more frequently found in the southernmost regions of the country, as the "Paraná pine". In Portuguese, the tree is commonly known as "Araucária", and its cientific name is Araucaria angustifolia.

This image is actually a panorama of two frames. Processing was entirely done in Adobe Lightroom CC (2015 version), using its RAW tools, adjusting white balance, contrast and exposure; and finally merged into a panorama using its own "Photomerge" tool in Lightroom itself.

Taken from Cristina, MG, Brazil. Thanks for seeing.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
