Moonrise: Monument Valley

The colors are quite real. The beautiful blue is a typical of

deasert sunset and stays for a couple of minutes. Thanks for viewing.

Great timing to catch the earths umbra so clearly. It definitely adds to the coloring in the sky and adds to this very dramatic landscape. Beautiful.

nice, but horizon is tilted. it spoils impression.

The horizon is not tilted. I specifically checked that. I think it is an optical illusion caused by the tilted lines of the mitten.

Supriyo,

 

This is wonderful and all. I must say thought that had you gone here the day before, the moon would have been in the same (almost) position approximately 40 minutes earlier, when the sky/forefround would have been brighter. It would have allowed you to use an exposure that showed detail in the moon) if no clouds, of course. But...........you would have lost the earth shine seen here. Compromises. My favorite is to capture such a scene 1 day (landscape format) or 2 days (portrait format) before the day of full moon. Tomorrow is two days from full moon!!

Sorry. hmmm, that's interesting.

WQuite a beautiful play of colours, well done as far as the compo. The moon is blown out, it is a pity. cheers Jana
