Artist's Comments

My Dad volunteers at the Mauna Kea visitor center. He helps give tours of the skys and telescopes. While he was doing his job I expored the nearby hills. Hikeing up steep slops with camera gear at over 9k feet I came upon a peak close to sunset. Here is where i found this cairn magicly aligned with the moon.

Edit: Sharpend.

i think it would be nicer if you sharpened some things up and boosted some of the highlights and midtones in those rocks but overall i like it quite a bit
:iconkipinae:
Wow, I like the composition and the general idea of it very much! The title is perfect for this picture, I love the idea of earth reaching towards heavens...excellent job! :)

Are those clouds down there?

I could not agree more, those are the reasons why i debated submited it for quite some time. The bigest problem is that the moon is at infinity and the rocks are not and I did not have a tripod with me. I batted for quite some time with shutterspeed and apature to try and get both in focus. Looking back i might have been able to increase te iso but i just hate grain. What you see here is my best attempt at geting both in focus.
