Absolutely stunning.
I really wanted to capture this too, but the clouds blew in at the last moment and all was lost.
Thank you for posting this treasure!

The longest of the three exposures captured the earthshine.

I think I could just sit and gaze at this for hours. When I first saw it, I thought it was a watercolor painting. The colors are so beautiful.
I am blown away by the composition and everything else about your photo. I really appreciate your sharing it. Thank you.

(11,264 posts)12. I cheated -- I used the noise filter in PSP
I shot at 1600 ISO, so there is a lot of noise in the original. That filter makes for a softer image, but that seemed to be okay for this shot.
