Truly Timesque! 99 out of 100 photographers would have positioned the camera to free the moon from the palms and let it float as a romantic cliche framed between them. The 100th photographer is you, who deliberately merges the palm fronds into the moon to create not a romantic image but a startlingly unique concept. The idea of holding back the night, of brushing the moon out of our eyes, is a fresh one and demolishes the cliche this might have become had you framed the moon instead of merging it.
