Tranquil Moon, Cyprus

Another capture from Cyprus along the rugged west coast. This time captured early in the morning when the sea was very calm and the moon descended below the horizen. A polarizer was used to reduce reflection and expose the foreground rocks below the water.

Hi Stefen,
Very nice picture and good framing with the rock, good perspective on the sea and the horizon..!
Good light and very pretty blue colours..!
Well done,

Hi Stephen,
Beautiful moonlit seaside scene, with still some blue hour light. Foreground details look great showing rocks through water surface.
I wonder how long the exposure was.

Wow!

This is amazing Stephen! I really like the blue colours here. You have a great point of view here as well. Your composition is flawless and I like the poisition of the moon and the reaflection of the moon. As you say, this picture defiantly gives me a feeling of tranquility.

Very well done.

hello Stephen,
outstanding photo, the simplicity of composition and the dominance of just two colours create a powerful image that focuses attention on textures and shapes. I like a lot how the perfectly still water creates an impression the sea is frozen, and the moon with its reflection is a great accent to this mysterious and moody scene. superb work!

with best regards,
Kristine

A brilliant surreal landscape photo. The use of the polarizer was genius.
