      Thanks you very much. I was really happy that I caught the right moment when the clouds made the moon look like it had a tail and was flying through the night sky.

    I see, the moon light was inspiration for you and you used the nice lightening for many various portraits. The moon is always a wonderful light source and softens , but cand bring a nice shadowplay too.
    My favourites are the last five pics ... I think, you know why

      I had to have an excuse for more portraits. You saw right through my ruse. Also, I had recently been trying to take some portraits in daylight and the light was really harsh and made shadows where I didn't want them. But, then, when the moon came out, the lighting was wonderful!

      Thanks for pointing out your favorites. I have an idea.

    I also like the light reflections of the eyes a lot, it makes eyes look so much livelier ^-^
    I like the portraits so much, especially those where your wonderful girls are looking towards the sky <3

      Thanks. I do think those are some of the best shots.
      Lighting was my excuse this week to do more portraits. I was very happy with some of the more unusual angles I was able to get.

    I like the how that pale moon light glitters in their eyes. Nice set for Sunday :)

      It's strange but I find that the natural light in Skyrim is often more photogenic (in my opinion) at night than during the day. When it's not pitch black that is. Daylight seems harsher with deeper, darker shadows - especially on faces. The moonlight seems softer and more 'glowing'. I was also very pleased with those glittering close-ups.
      Thanks.

      I've always ran my nights pretty dark through my ENBs but I've been meaning to change that for a while. Something about that pale moonlight that drowns out the color is so peaceful.

      Peaceful ... until the night creatures attack.

    That moon looks so big. Almost like you could jump onto it.

      Please don't try it! Unless, of course, in a cartoon.

      I did use 'fov' in some of those pictures to compress the distance and I think this had a definite effect on the appearance of the moon.

      Thanks very much. Probably from the full moon, but the lighting was just right to cause that and I was happy with how it looked.

      Thanks very much. I'm not sure I could repeat that effect. Just playing around a bit and then, there it was. Glad you like it.
