Another Garden of the Gods moonlit stars comp ... entered as this week's WA.
Critical/brutal C&C and reworks requested ... considering working the RAW for a competition print.
Even though it was a full moon, it was still very tough to see through the viewfinder for comp with the Oly 18/3.5. Guess I need to bring a bigger flashlight next time.
Composition is great, if I had to nitpick it'd be the minor noise in the light-blue area above the horizon but it doesn't really bother me. Assuming the sharpness holds up at larger resolutions, it'd be a great candidate for a metallic print.
It's most obvious in the rocks, but if you apply the color balance changes globally, I suspect you'll like the smallish improvement for the remainder of the image.
I think a little selecive dodge and burn in the foreground could enhance the depth of the whole image, at the moment the bottom 1/3 is too flat, get some good depth in there and I think the whole image will really sing.
