Description

I have always liked the "solitude" of the whole Moon images, with (usually) black, empty space surrounding the satellite. In ocassions,  some fellow astrobiners combine them with clouds, giving a moving and mistique feeling. 

With this in mind, I wanted to put together an image that would convey some of those feelings. So I brought in some  "techniques" from photography, "negative space" to give room to the Moon to "move" while enforcing the feeling of solitude, and placing the moon on the focal point of a golden ration of the image, to draw the attention towards the moon at the same tme. Altogether with a soft graded non full moon, which, I believe,  has more mood and dynamism because of the shadows.  

I like how it has turned out. I like how it results in a full frame picture (as with a Samsung ART TV). In this sense, I believe that image gains a lot if displayed full screen. 

Thanks for reading....  Guillermo
