Moonring

There is some strength and significance of the circle, or perhaps the ring. It's a shape we're all familiar with and often occurs naturally in nature. The significance to each of us is unique, some might feel a part of the circle, or may have recently given a significant ring to someone. I wasn't expecting to get a ring this night around the moon in such fashion, and this was a complex shot for me. One of my first manual blends as photoshop was unable to correct for the distortion, but I knew when I saw this ring I wanted the panoramic view of the ring in the sky, and the canyon below to join. Obviously it's no spectacular colors, or mind bending sunset, but to me it signifies that beauty in nature often comes together at unexpected times. Simply being allows us to be part of this circle.
