Default First light

Too bad I couldn't take a large number of shots with my new EOS yet... I've released the shutter a couple of times and here's what my sensor captured.

Weeds chilled by icy wind:
Brothers in arms

Lunar communications?
Apollo, are you there?

I really like the soft feel of the first shot. You really have captured it very well. The sky is so softly blended, I really like it a lot!

I like the first shot. The low down angle really sets the shot. If I may be bold and suggest some heavy cropping on that lot of sky may even improve the shot.

I like the perspective in the first shot. Great daytime capture of the moon in the last shot.

Thank you all for watching and for kind comments.

@Jolley: Bill, I fail in seeing how I could crop more sky from that picture. How would you do it?

Thank you Jennie.
You're right about ET, but that movie is so sad that everytime I see it I need to hold back my tears.
