Hi bracket,
Clearly I'm going nuts. Don't ask me where I got Fred from, but I'm pretty sure he's gone now when I look at your pic. ;o)
Cheers, John

Hi John!

Firstly my names not fred :o), but thanks anyway for your comment. Well I dunno if the moon is a he or she, but since I am from Austria (not Australia ;-) my native language is german. In german the moon is called "der mond" which is male. Thus it was natural for me to call it he. I'm aware that in most other languages its female. I will change the title accordingly. As for the lines, these are powerlines (with the red thing being a kind of warning sign for planes) which were in the original image and I usually don't add sth. which isn't in the original shot. As for moving the subject from the center, I didn't try but I'm not too experienced with composition, so maybe I'll play around a bit. Thanks for the suggestion.

Greetings,

bracket

Hi Fred,
Unique and clever idea. That might be Mars making a move on our moon. I wonder whether Venus knows and I also wonder whether the moon is really a she or a he.
Did you play around with shifting the subjects away from dead centre in this image? I probably would have tried something closer towards the top left ROT focus point for the spheres and added another line or two to cover more of the pic as a result.
Cheers, John
