A classy way to present the Moon. Love the addition of the stars which puts the Moon amount the stars where it belongs. Great Job...!

Dan, Very dramatic image. Outstanding. Where did you get the star image?

Spectacular....the best Ive seen....dramatic...outstanding....

There must be something wrong with my eyes, perhaps my monitor, because all I am seeing is noise laden, soft, oversharpened image of a moon casually over imposed an equally noisy starry night. Maybe there is a contest of gratuitous butt kissing Im not aware of?? The sad thing is that the OP could even start to believe such props to be honest. There is NOTHING, spectacular, dramatic, outstanding and its not the best Ive seen....but the contrary. What is the purpose of posting such blatant and obvious lies? I ask that question every time I see one of these dishonest spectacles. Mesmerizing.

So, you don't use any photo programs like Lightroom or PhotoShop to alter reality?

Did you even READ what I typed or are you really that dense? The moon image is a bad one, full of noise, oversharpening artifacts.....what is so spectacular about that? I can appreciate a nicely done composite but one like this one, a mediocre, badly done one? Nope. I do not believe anyone could post such hypocritically positive remarks in an honest way, only if you are BLIND or have really low standards or awfully bad taste. This is taking political correctness to ridiculous levels or maybe an effort of providing these dishonest praises just to assure some of the same dishonest praise back to continue the delusion and false sense of achievement going.

Gosh - such sturm and drang! You' think we were talking about politics! It's a picture , for crissakes!

When I posted it, I took pains to point out that the stars were faked in. The point of the posting was to show what the software, Landscape Pro, was capable of.

As far as noise in the moon is concerned, it was shot at 1/100 at ISO 100, so it's hard to figure how it could have been less noisy. If there's noise in the stars, I don't see it, but the star field was furnished with the software.

Sharpness? That's in the eye of the beholder, I guess. But, what I see is that Landscape Pro didn't do a perfect job of masking the moon in the upper right-hand quadrant. Maybe that looks like oversharpening to you.

So, if some people like it, great, and if others don't, no matter. Like I said, it's just a picture.

Do you think that image merits praises like: "Spectacular....the best Ive seen....dramatic...outstanding...."

Do you HONESTLY think it deserves those? That is what I am talking about. Its nothing against you but against the attitude of a certain group of people here. The noise is there and its not sharp, if those were your settings I must conclude it was taken with a small sensor camera....4/3ds perhaps? Sharpness has a certain level of being subjective but only to a certain degree. To me its clearly soft and noisy. If that program handles noise like that, I am not impressed.
