Hi Barbara. This is very beautiful; I would love to be sitting there. But! It's driving me crazy. Following my own advice and looking into, rather than just at an image I am not sure what I am seeing here. Is this either two combined images or at the very least a moon Photoshopped in? Why I ask this is that the moonbeam on the water doesn't point directly st the moon; it is slightly off to one side which in real life I don't think it does. (Of course you will just know, tonight I will be across the meadow to my neighbor's lake to see if I'm right. last night it was cloudy so I couldn't check it out). Also, I am curious as to why the jetty is so brightly lit as the side we are looking at is not facing the moon. OK Barbara, I shall eat crow when you tell me that you haven't manipulated this, but I'm a big boy so I will just shut myself in the closet and cry very quietly.Barbara E. Gould September 28, 2009
Pete, you make me laugh!!!Peter W. Marks September 29, 2009
Ah! Barbara! Thank you for generously giving me absolution for my mistake so that I can now eat much tastier humble pie instead of crow casserole!Barbara E. Gould September 29, 2009
Again, you make me laugh! You have a wonderful sense of humor...thank you!Susan M. Reynolds September 30, 2009
I am so loving this image...it is breath-taking! I think the little bit of shore and the tree on the right side gives it a nice framing too.Barbara E. Gould September 30, 2009
Thank you very much Susan!Barbara E. Gould September 30, 2009
Thank you very much Susan!Meghan Gonski October 31, 2009
I love both images. After reading Pete's first comment I went back and lined it up with my hand, I came to the conclusion that it is weird but a natural image. :) Then I read futher and found out I was right! YippeePeter W. Marks November 01, 2009
I am very happy that I make you ladies laugh though it does remind me of why I never did graduate from an engineering college in London. I had such a good time being a a fun guy in class that my sponsoring company withdrew me and made me work for a living. I didn't as much make it on to the bell-curve with my grades but rather swung happily beneath it like a clapper. that's the dangly thing.Barbara E. Gould November 01, 2009
