Photographer’s Note
This was shot last friday and it indeed is a very rare sight seeing the moon and venus at the same time like this. They say this happens only once in 400 years. I could'nt zoom more because beyond this i had to use the digital zoom which pixelates on such low light shots. I used a tri pod to get this shot. Full 5x zoom was used.

Hello Bullet, I have been observing from last week the moon and the planet Venus that is very near her, but I had not seen as close as your you present us now, excellent picture, difficult to capture but it is interesting the note that to add and I believe that it corresponds us to live a time where frequently see special and only signs in the sky and in the earth. The image is only, fantastic and wonderful, I adore this type of images. thank you to share it with us. *Ninfa Urania*

Well captured picture and interesting comments. I think the foreground (palmtrees and other plants) gives a particular mood to the scene, so it wasn't usefull to zoom more than you've done. Good work !

Bala, you managed to produce a good night shot that is not too bright (ie actually looks like a night). I¨m not too much into planets but I like the flowers and the colour of the sky.
