Mercury

Critique Style Requested: Standard

The photographer is looking for generalized feedback about the aesthetic and technical qualities of their image.

Description

My wife is into astronomy and we had been out Thursday and Friday to peek at Mercury. I decided it would make a good entry for this weekly challenge, so I took the camera out tonight.

Specific Feedback

Anything. I don’t do astro as a rule (can’t stay up that late).

Technical Details

Sony A1, FE 200-600 + 2.0 TC @ 1200 mm, Tripod with gimbal head, cable release, manual focus, manual exposure. f/13, iso 640, 1/3 second. Processed in LR & PS CC. No Crop. Just a curves layer to darken the background since it’s only seen within an hour or so of sunset and slightly above the western horizon.

Outstanding captured for this week’s challenge, Dennis. Nicely done!

@Dennis_Plank I think in the end the WC “small in frame” series had some dramatic variants. I would think this had to be the smallest of them all… :+1: :+1:
