I took this shot about 15 minutes before sunrise. Venus (left) forms a triangle with Jupiter (right) and our crescent moon.

Simple yet beautiful. Apparently simple. It must have been a tough task though

@bronzebilly u.k.: Super Tuesday is going GREAT (if you are a Washington insider)! If you are an average American, the Washington insiders are placing blinders on your eyes and you are content to chase the American dream. Political and economic systems in America are corrupt beyond compare. Sorry for the cynicism but you asked. Love the moonboy title! Thanks! :0)
danthro from Suburbia, United States
WOW. and with a Sony DSC! I assume you used a tripod, because this shot would be virtually impossible with that camera otherwise (I would know--this sort of photograph is precisely the reason I need to get a tripod). Absolutely beautiful. You even got stars. well done.
