Re: [APML] My Last Planet Alignment Pic

Eddie,

Of course Stonehenge is among the best props in the world for these kinds of shots. I like the sky colors; they look very natural. I wonder if you could bring out any detail in the foreground. It might make the photo more interesting. Also, I see dust spots on the images, which would be easy to clean up in photoshop with rubber stamp. Also maybe label the star at upper right?
