Great photo! I do love a good tree photo. The choice of using the telephoto lens to enhance the size of the moon makes it.

@Sherri and @laanba Thanks!

@Mark I was very lucky you have the right lens with me. The telephoto effect really helped flatten the scene and highlight the size of the moon. Not all of these types of photos are photoshopped. Most are so used to using shorter focal length lenses they forget the long view can yield equivalent and more dramatic renditions of a scene.

Very nice Jim, talk about being there and prepared! I have seen photos like this with large moons and always wondered if they were all multiple exposures or montages of some kind because I have never seen one this large in relation to a landscape object.

@Eliya It was well worth the detour indeed!

@LisaNewton Thanks. I couldn't have asked for a better random element to be included, the birds make the photo in my eyes.

Wow, this picture is fantastic. I love the balance between the tree and the moon, plus the birds flying over head add a great element.

Thanks for sharing it..................:)

As I remember, we hesitated a bit to stop the car on the way down to Monterey, but I'm sure glad we did!
