Description

Trying out an idea I had. I copied the picture, flipped it vertically, darked & blurred the 2nd image, applied fine warp & then merged it into one picture. Lens aperture F/4, shutter speed 1/512sec, focal length 6mm, taken in my back yard.

With the dark background it almost looks like it's being lit by the moon. Very cool! #821186
