The Tree, The Moon, The Milky Way and The Rock all in a Hard place.

We went into Grass that was all most as tall as the tripod to try and capture the tree. I chose to hide the moon behind the tree Davids shot had the moon in the Cross of the tree branches. Enjoy some playing with light.

Glad you like it certainly is one of my fav images of the weekend, I think hiding the moon behind the trunk adds to the shot.
