Leaves from the American sycamore [2] tree in my yard. This photo is with my new polarizing filter [3]; I made the sky look as dark as possible with it, and put the moon in the frame to make the scene a cross between night and day. So the moon didn’t become a blurry white blob, I closed down to F18, so I increased the ISO speed to 800, but the grain works well here. So you have the sunshine of late afternoon, but the dark blue sky of a moonlit night.
Buy a 4*6 copy for $0.95 (USA only). Lustre finish. After adding, go to your shopping cart [4].

Source image [7]. Though the polarizer took care of making the sky dark, I added some contrast, toned down the colors of the leaves, and added heavy vignetting (darkening at the corners), to keep your eyes from wandering off the edge. I also brightened the moon a bit.
