Thank you Montage;
I should also mention this is an HDR image, consisting of 10 images with varrying exposures.

Cheers,

So timeless and beautiful.

This is frame-worthy stuff right here!

Thank you for all your kind comments.
Culberda, the moon is real, but it was superimposed from a different position in the sky.
Stolenlife, overexposed? Are you sure your monitor is calibrated?

Thanks again,
Cheers,

Fantasy shot, so nice.

Congratulations. Excellent work! Does your camera automatically provide the necessary bracketing for an HDR image such as this? If not, what was your technique for stabilizing the camera and getting the breadth of exposure (e.g., camera on bulb, use wristwatch to keep track of exposure time)?

beautiful shot, and beautiful work with HDR... really dramatic for me !

fantastic tone and detail! excellent work!

Thanks again for your kind comments.

King, my camera does not automatically bracket for this level of complexity in exposure control; all the 20D provides is simply three images with pre-defined levels of exposure.
To capture sharp images necessary for the above picture, I used a tripod, MLU, and remote release to fully keep the camera stable. Then after each picture, I changed the shutter speed by 2 stops, capturing 10 images total, with varrying exposures from 1sec to 20sec.

Hope that helps,
Cheers,

my admiration to you. incredible photo. i am curious as to what those diagonal little lines are in the sky?
