I'm curious, what was the focal length used to get the moon so large in frame and is it a single capture or composited?
Very amazing!
Thanks! This is a purely artistic shot, so it's a composite. This was supposed the evening of a super moon so I had a shot plan with a 600mm lens to get the dancer as a silhouette within the full moon rising over Lake Michigan. However, the size of the moon was a disappointment, and it was not nearly large enough with the 600.
So I took a shot of the moon and then laid it in over the Chicago skyline.
Is that the actual moon size? Looks a tad unnatural.
Nice concept!
I can tell you used crosslighting by the highlights on her legs.
My main nit to pick is that the exposure in those highlights is very bright drawing the eye away from the rest of the shot.

It may not be, but it's pretty close. It was a super moon back in June.
I did get rid of a lot of highlights coming from the skyline, but I wanted it to stay as natural as possible, so I did keep some highlights.

I was referring to the highlights on her legs/body from the lighting you used.
