Commons:Featured picture candidates/Image:Lunar Crepuscular Rays 1.jpg

Info Crepuscular Rays are a beautiful sight. Crepuscular Rays under the stars are even more so. The Moon was behind the mountain. Crepuscular Rays were created by the shadows of the objects (trees, rocks, bears :-) ) atop of the mountain.

Oppose Too unrealistic --βαςε _LXIV ™ 05:18, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Unrealistic you said? It probably is, except it is the way it was in reality. Here's the original image . BTW it was the very first time I've ever seen Lunar crepuscular rays (very, very uncommon subject, Lycaon). Thank you.--Mbz1 12:49, 24 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Should I say that it's more unrealistic than the Alternative below? --βαςε _LXIV ™ 03:42, 1 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support I prefer this version. It has less overexposure and better overall effect. Freedom to share 19:16, 22 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Support I'd prefersomething in between this and the other one in term of exposure, but this one is good. --Dori - Talk 04:25, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
The settings for both images (including exposure time) were the same. The brightness of the rays has changed because the Moon has moved. Both images show excactly how it looked to my eyes. Thank you.--Mbz1 12:28, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose very low quality image. Lycaon 19:11, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Those rays are that uncommon that you take a picture when you encounter it on your trekking. No way to bring the mountains and the trees any closer to show every leaf in great details because the rays last only few minutes and change their appearance constantly. There's no way to change much of the composition. It takes quite an effort just to find the rays in the middle of full Moon night. You can't choose many of the other variables... These are mitigating circumstances.--Mbz1 22:43, 28 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]
