The Moon and Venus put on a spectacular show in the winter sky, their brightness striking against the dark expanse. Venus shone brilliantly, outshining all but the Moon, which displayed an impressive Earthshine revealing its shadowed side. A faint veil of clouds added texture, softly diffusing the moonlight and framing the scene beautifully.
I aimed for a balanced composition, with the two celestial objects placed slightly off-center to emphasize the open, peaceful feel of the sky. Processing was kept minimal to preserve the natural glow and the contrast between these dazzling objects and the tranquil background.
A simple yet unforgettable sight, and a joy to capture.
