Ticket To The Moon Photo

Photographer’s Note

Did you remember old song from ELO (Electric Light Orchestra)? Didn't? This is wonderful composition!

Remember the good old 1980s?
When things were so uncomplicated?
I wish I could go back there again
And everything could be the same.

I've got a ticket to the moon
I'll be leaving here any day soon
Yeah, I've got a ticket to the moon
But I'd rather see the sunrise in your eyes.

Got a ticket to the moon
I'll be rising high above the earth so soon
And the tears I cry might turn into the rain
That gently falls upon your window
You'll never know.

Chorus:
Ticket to the moon (ticket to the moon)
Ticket to the moon (ticket to the moon)
Ticket to the moon (ticket to the moon).

Fly, fly through a troubled sky
Up to a new world shining bright, oh, oh.

Flying high above
Soaring madly through the mysteries that come
Wondering sadly if the ways that led me here
Could turn around and I would see you there
Standing there (and I would see you there, waiting...)

Ticket to the moon
Flight leaves here today from satellite two
As the minutes go by, what should I do?
I paid the fare, what more can I say?
It's just one way (only one way)...

This is an amazing moment for the photography!
The moon in the morning sky and behind my back there is the rising sun.

Hi Serghei,
interesting catch. The reflection of the sunset in the building also is a nice detail. A few suggestions: the horizon could be straightened and some noise reduction could be applied in the sky...I made a quick WS as illustration...

Best,

Philippe

Hello Serghei,
The evening mood well captured in fine dark colours and subtle light reflections. Noise is present but not disturbing.
regards,

Hello Serghei!
Although we cannot see the details on the moon surface, its brightness compensates it all!
Other than that, the picture is quite attractive and beautiful!
The vertical format and the pov were excellent choices here! Sharpness, exposure and colors are very good as well! The composition is simple but effective, with eye-catching visual results!
TFS - congratulations!
Have a very good week-end!

Hi Serghei

Haven't heard that ELO song. I'll download it. Good inclusion & placement of the full moon. Excellent warm cold colour contrasts & sharpness. The reflection on the golden cupola is nice. Spasibo!

Pozdrav sa balkana iz Srbije.
Molimo se ...
Dobra fotografija, bojama ste pokazali divne krovove i odvojili od pozadine.
Dobrom ostrinom i trenutkom snimka pokazali ste leputu ovog objekta.
Puno pozdrav i uspeh u radu, Paja.

Privet, Serghei -

Beautiful minimalist composition, especially with the bit of sunlight still illuminating the spire. Phillipe is right about the noise, though.

Best,
Dan
