Great shot, good idea to hide the sun behind the palm leaf.

beautiful photo, a classic martin denny album cover, minus the babe!
Nice monochrome effect and stunning moon lighting.
straight to the favorite bin!

Very few pictures have that immediate "Wow" factor,but this is one of them.
The way the palm leaves frame the clouds across the top. The moonlight breaking up the dark sea at the bottom. Absolutely beautiful.
It seems unfair to raise criticism of an image like this, but I'm going to anyway :-)
There is a slight slope on the horizon. Without that it would be a triple smiley if such a thing existed on this site.

A very striking and original image. I wonder if I wouldn't prefer the palm leaf more offset, but nevertheless, you've made an exceptional image.

Magical... perfect dream-place formation, with the palm and the moon light.. Great composition.

This looks like one of thos posters of palmtrees that you can buy in the store. I always wanted to have one when i was litle. Love the silluet of the palm leaf and the colours in the sky.

Good idea the colors are mysterieuse and interesting, perfect framing and the interesting composition.

A very surrealistic ambience and also a wonderfull picture. I like the blue tones in contradition with the place, where we only see greens and blues from the waters and the yellows and the oranges from the sunsets. This is the way I see such a heavenly place, so so far away, like a dream. Composition is just perfect. Everything has already been said. Amazing!!!

Fantastic shot... it has a nice contrast between the shades of black and the dark blue/green colours. It gives a mysterious and dreamy feeling. Very good composition, with a hidden sun (or is it a moon? :-P ), and some interesting clouds. You certainly have an eye for this! Well done Cerdo!

•  
• Motrem (2392)
• [2003-11-28 21:57]

Magnificent photo! The composition, the light behind the sheet(leaf), we would say a feather and this sky so beautiful. Great shot!
Superbe photo! La composition, la lumière derrière la feuille, on dirait une plume et ce ciel si beau. Merveilleux!

• soundsangels (1681)

Vous rappellez-vous de ces affiches dessinées, trop belles pour être vraies? Eh bien ici...c`est vrai et c' est merveilleusement beau.....
Un ciel a faire rêver...une composition remarquable..une atmosphère...UNIQUE...
Dommage que je ne puisse pas donner plus de 2 points...
Un très gros BRAVO....

The pic remembers me on the last movie about attack on Pearl Horbour. The time and the weather it was similar like on this pic. This is really a great shot Cerdo. The reflex of the moonshadow on the sea it's marvellus. The leaf of the palm makes a wonderful view on the sea and cloudy weather. Just perfect.

Well done.

•  
• justrob (269)
• [2003-11-29 12:31]

Very nice photograph. Lots of detail for such a dark pic. The dark palm in the upper corner is a bit distracting to me!

Wonderful picture, great composition. Well spotted!

Passing the "photo line" and entering the "painted world"!?. Delicate night blue setting, top composure.

•  
• mitternacht (1836)
• [2003-12-01 18:11]

There is nothing that beats moonlight, simply beautiful. The placement of the moon is ingenious. I'm amazed to see clouds like that at night, to me they are typical day-clouds. On the other hand one usually doesn't see clouds at night. The moon light is really bright here, it looks almost like daylight through a filter.

I see you have a small scratch in your negative (I presume this is scanned from a negative) in the middle of the sky - it could easily be fixed by postprocessing software.

• rabani (9184)
• [2004-04-07 2:04]

It is a beautiful night scene, with a tinge of a breezy romanticness in it. Add a little mystery by keeping the moon behind the palm and the ghostly sheen reflection.
This is what I feel.And its good.

Very well composed. It is a brilliant idea to hide the moon to prevent the inevitable flare. Your shot inspired me to attempt a similar scene but did not even come close. Thanks for sharing.

Isn't Tahiti gorgeous? This photo sure looks like a painting, as a matter of fact it reminds me of an artist popular in Hawaii named Tabora. The blue is perfect and the moonlight reflection on water is beautiful. I love this photo!

Absolutely stunning! How'd you do it, if I may ask? Also, please, can you tell me how you display them so large? I have PhotoShop, but I'm new to this site and I can't seem to make mine big enough without violating the display parameters.

Thank you.

Ok, this one rates a WOW! An extremely expressive mood shot, though I'm not sure what's going on at the left edge. The clouds and the reflection and that little bit of light on the leaf at top right do a beautiful job. What about the technical data (f-stop, shutter, etc.)?

Hi Credo,

If i have viewed this Image and had not commented then that will be like doing industice to the piece of ART..

What can i say....Everything is Perfect.. here.. the moon, the beach, the tree and the sky...

You have intelligently covered the moon behind the leaves so that the glare is avoided..

Excellent and Congrats for great work..
