Man in the Moon, can I ask you some questions?
I'll take your answers, as merely suggestions. These are the opening lines to a poem I wrote when I was 14. It seems like a lifetime ago but it helps to illustrate the importance of the moon in my life. When I was little, my mother used to read to me a book entitled 'Goodnight Moon', and it remains, to this day, my favorite book. I'm an only child so I live in my own imagination and when I was lonely or confused I would sit in the window and have conversations with the man in the moon and as I got older I came to realize the effect the phases of the moon had over me. My emotional, physical and spiritual being was transformed with the waxing and waning of each cycle and when I started with the Craft it all came together. I don't have the proper equipment to effectively capture the moon in a way that I would deem fitting for such an important factor in my life. As such I've opted to pay tribute with this piece. Carl Sandburg once said 'The moon is a friend for the lonesome to talk to' and that effectively captures it for me and perhaps helps to explain my attraction, devotion and sometimes obsession with it.

 Aww, it's the man in the moon! How sweet...
 -- Love never fails. For when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears.  - My Gallery - My Prints this looks so beautiful danie! i think that it is wonderful that the man in the moon is so important to you.
 -- if i stop myself before loving again, am i stopping myself from the greater pain as well..or only causing more of it? member of ~Deviant-Underground, *Circleoffriends, ~invisible-inc, *The-Red-Envelope, and =PoetryPlease  I adore these fascinating insights into your life - and explanation of your username as well. I like the way that the stars surround the moon in this image, numerous but dark enough not to distract, instead providing a framework. It is a calm glow that surrounds the moon, an almost hazy appearance and well depicted.
  wow moon ..this is a very moveing image ...great work!
-- "Sand rains down and here i sit..holding rair flowers in a tomb"  Oh, really loving the antique feel to this shot--it has to me the feeling of a fav of mine called Tssss...like a sneak by puncin...the colors, yes, but also the careful delicacy, the weightiness coupled with lilting lightness. Really nice one, danie, elegantly done!
I fully understand and resonate with the importance of the moon in your life...I've always been fascinated and felt that magnetic attraction to the moon and the shifting phases/faces of her, myself--my favored nickname as a child was "moondrop" (moon with the "drop" of a star)....can't tell you how much poetry she inspired!  -- I think global warming is... • How deviant are you?  I'll never stop loving your work... that's amazing how much of an effect the moon had on you.-- "You'll just be sitting there... and then they'll come... crawling up your leg... and bite the inside of your ass. And then you'll be like 'Ey! Get out of my ass you stupid rainbow!'"  On it's own this picture is moving. With your coment it is inspiering. I am honoured that you would share such a beautiful sentiment with us.  -- Artists who seek perfection in everything are those who cannot attain it in anything. Eugene Delacroix (1798 - 1863) Thank you so much
-- Danielle McKay Director of Community Relations deviantART, inc.  very subtle shading and melancholy mood help to set this one apart. it's a little bit indistinct in the bottom left corner... the solid black is a bit of a pit that traps the eyes. perhaps some cropping could eliminate a bit of it? overall nicely done though.
-- Have some every day: photography.deviantart.com  kevinthom.com  journal.kevinthom.com yeah I played with the cropping, and I imagine you're probably much better at it then I am but I couldn't make it work
