Tonight's Crescent Moon: Three views

A conventional view of tonight's crescent moon. I cropped and made some minimal lighting adjustments to the original RAW image.


Experimental view #1. Earthshine, the glow caused by sunlight reflected off the earth on the darker portion of a crescent moon, is featured here. I used the stock Apple photo app for the special effects, not Photoshop or similar software. The stars are as they appear in the original RAW image.


Experimental view #2. Stock Apple photo app used for effects.

The other two are simply gorgeous! I love the effects you produced.

You do incredible work; there is no other way to express it.
