 "Among the first in the Western world to offer a scientific explanation for the Moon was the Greek philosopher Anaxagoras (d. 428 BC), who reasoned that the Sun and Moon were both giant spherical rocks, and that the latter reflected the light of the former. His atheistic view of the heavens was one cause for his imprisonment and eventual exile."

Twelve voters offered an average of 7 and two favorited this. The score may not have been what you'd like but it's a beautiful moon shot!

As you know, I liked this image. Dark and moody. Who knows what's lurking in the dark!

Perfect white moon, picture fizzels out to the left, probably my useless taste.

Very nice silouettes, nice work,cant see any real detail of the moon, but that is a hard combination to achieve.

Could use a tighter crop, also a shorter exposure time.

Great shot. I like the fact that it's not the standard moon shot.
