From 2006 - Sky Shots 14

So what's wrong with this one?

This shot was taken just a few minutes after the one from the previous posting, as can be referenced from the tree sticking out over on the hillside in the background.

And that leads us to what is wrong...since the leaves that frame the moon are in focus, leaving the hillside blurry due to depth-of-field, how can the moon be in focus? Well, it is not! I didn't like the moon being out of focus, so pasted it in from the previous shot right over where the moon actually is. It looks great - having the moon as clear as it is framed by the maple leaves - but is not optically possible.
