WOW...What a creation! Love this one!

The eyes say it is real, the brain says it is not. It creates a certain tension there. Superb manipulation.

Oh dear, we're going to have some serious problems with the tides!

Cool! Even better than Moons Over My Hammy (LOL) Nice creation...Favs...

Fabulous job!! Awesome and cool:)

I gotta start paying more attention to the night sky. When did we pick up the second moon?
Part of me wants to say the moon is too large for the horizon, but making it smaller loses the visual impact in your image. I like the lighting and reflection. Very nice manipulation work.

Nice work!

Wonderful creation Chris!!! Bravo on this super image:)

Nice idea and work, Chris. Of course this is unreal, but to make this seem more real, two points are need to be worked on, in my humble opinion. Nothing to say about colors and lighting, all very good.

The sight of the large moon on the sky seems to be layered 'over' the sky, but it should be 'under' the sky layer. So, clouds must be seen in front of the moon. Currently it seems moon simply placed over sky.

Secondly, this large moon's reflection on the water seems larger than the original one. That's wrong by perspective rules, distracting for MY eyes.

Excellently crafted.

Dramatic composition! I'd agree with the comments of Tanju above. The crescent of the large moon appears as a literal material crescent, not as a lighting effect. And the mysterious light source at front left of the large moon, if its intended as a celestial light source as seems to be the case, should illuminate the large moon. But the only light falling on it is from above. It's certainly a composition worth perfecting.

That is amazing! Beautiful work!

Now on one of my desktops at home. You did a superb job creating the reflection of the moon. Once again, very nice work.

Very Nice!

I've seen a number of these images, here on Caedes, that morph moons, planets, and gas giants into an otherwise normal earth scene or a contrived scene, most often using a wide expanse of water. (My avatar should tell you I'm naturally picky about any image involving astronomy.) Most of those images are... technically okay... acceptable. And although I know the moon would never appear this size, notwithstanding the natural optical illusion provided by the moon as it first rises above the horizon, and that the bright moonglow through the trees belies the position you've given our satellite, this one just "feels" right to me. Perhaps it's because you've given both the moon and the landscape the same level of focus--that's always the second give-away, the first being the fact that we don't have anything this big in our sky. It could also be the reflection you've placed in the water--some of those others look like the water was a mirror, even through waves. This reflection is believable (in technical terms, of course). I don't know if it was your intention but there is something menacing about this image of yours. I think it would make a good dust-jacket cover for a book or a movie poster.
