 This is the moon - as if you didn't know! Took it from my front yard early this evening. I took some picturs for Last Words but after editing I just didn't know how they would go over so I settled for this in Diagonal.

Editing: Crop and rotate; adjustment layers for levels, curves, selective color and contrast; flatten; midtone contrast; noise removal with Helicon Filter; resize; smart sharpen; add white border; save for web.

Heheh clever entry. Meets the challenge in a unique way. The image itself could be much more striking with increased contrast, etc, blah, blah. There's about 40,000 moon shots on the site. This one isn't bad, just could pop a bit more. Good job on thinking of it for diagonal.

I think the color makes it look too unatural.

Good use of a strong diagonal shadow in making this moon shot interesting.
