Thank you Stan, in fact, I used the Holga thingy from Silver Efex, but I didn't use the film grain option. I'll give it a go!

I, too, agree with what has been said about your photo Ugur. There's a quite magical feel to this work which I find most appealing, so much so I made it a favourite. I think the light and colours speak loudest in this composition, complimented by those rather soft silhouettes.
Regards,
Anthony

Actually Randy I'm pretty good at astronomy and have been a fan ever since I glimpsed Saturn's rings through a cheap 70mm refractor. Now - I have an 8" SC and a 5" Mak, both very under-used currently. I really want to start taking astro photos but those CCD's are pretty costly. I haven't looked in any depth into using my dSLR.
As to the Moon, yah - to my shame I thought it was a bloomed planet haha!

Anthony

This IS rather fabulous though Randy - simple, thus strong and memorable; a potent image indeed. You might want to add this to the Silhouettes Project. Like Brigitte, I made it a fave too.
Technical point: on my monitor at least there is some fringing or whatever it's called at the boundary of the dark elements and that gorgeous sky. It that a jpeg compression artifact? I think this image would be dead perfect if this could be got rid of.
Regards,
Anthony

I do not know Kris. You caught this moment; this human being. You chose the "emotion" category here and I am curious about that. What is your interpretation? You have filled the About with "...". may I ask why?
Yours ever,

I looked, and it was another quite telling study you excel at Krish. You placed it in the "Emotion" category, and one can certainly see why, or can we? Perhaps not.
As ever,

It's a pleasing image indeed. I like it a lot. The background has quite obviously been added, which is perfectly great and fine, as long as it's stated. It barely needs to be stated here though.

Don, I do not know who he was when I shot this. I recall the composition as it looked in my viewfinder. I *think* he was a Vatican person of some kind because that section of St Peter's was cordoned off.
Best wishes,
Anthony

A striking photograph, both technically and in emotional impact. Congratulations Atish! A clear winner you have here.
I'd love to learn more about your subjects in an "About".

Indeed Saad. I have many witnesses as to her age - she's in incredible shape and evidently refuses to grow old. I'd put her age, having seen her face, at 73 give or take two years.
