Artist's Comments

My newest work... Something simple and soothing. I wanted a lot of empty space here, to kind of focus in on the small area of light, the moon lighting and disappearing behind the clouds. I also wanted a very dreamy feel, obviously, so I had lots of light-haloing type stuff, the gentle glow around almost everything. Why didn't I work in stars, you ask? Well, a moon that bright would probably blot them out due to light pollution, and more importantly--they'd prolly destroy the image, at least as far as I can tell. I like it, and it's my current wallpaper (I feel a little weird, using one of my own wallpapers.... kind of cocky... eh. :P)

Anyways, enjoy.

That is so beautiful and realistic. I love how real the clouds look and the crescent. Wow, great job!

:wow: that is sooo beautiful!! it makes me want to :relax:. :D i do see a problem, however. It seems like the clouds just sort of abruptly end under the moon. I thought they should sort of taper off if you know what I mean. Like this:

Excellent stuff. Eloquent, even -- the glow on the moon is a great touch, and the clouds work perfectly. The sky being devoid of stars only strengthens the mood; you're right, putting anything else up there would've marred the picture. Great work. /+fav
