And then you go and up the ante! That much more punchier being closer and with the leading leaf edges encroaching on the window light.

You really have a knack for this style of image where you're looking into the light (at varying degrees) but also featuring in the same frame, subjects that shine in their own response to the same light.

Moon not quite heavy enough to push the left side down a bit, but it's a great b&w. The lit foliage and the fence shadows are great.

Suitably inserted with total empathy 'cos the same thing happened to me just a few days back. You did get the Earthshine on the Moon as compensation.

Gee you come across some captivating people moments. I like the bluish glare - really builds atmosphere.

Eclectic with a rogue P. Great find!

Love the backyard context you've included, especially the lines formed by the tops of the walls. The glowy leaves and light globes are quite something.

But then you show me this - even darker lol but the extension of the gold bits widely through the frame is great. Quite a different shot to the previous two.

Both very nice images; I prefer this one because its overall greater darkness enhances the sun and its flare. Strictly a personal preference - I usually lean to darker images.

Beautifully handled natural light, well done
