Both are outstanding, Jeff - love the moonrise with Venus - a very special capture beautifully composed and presented! I continue to be so impressed that you get up at these insane(to me!) hours - how can you see? When do you sleep? Seriously, your effort and hard work is justly rewarded with unique images that nobody else has. #9143561Dick W. Wyatt January 05, 2011
