This is an excellent image. I have never seen the sun-lit side and earth-shine side displayed so accurately in one picture. This is so close to what the human eye would see from a good set of binoculars.

Rob has been getting good at these composite images. I have tried a few in the past with less than stellar results. Nice work.

Le traitement est vraiment impressionnant, c'est d'une grande douceur et la HDR se fait complètement oublier, un grand bravo pour cette prouesse technique !
