Syzygy

My top 100

 

I will likely never get this shot again as long as I live. I was shooting seagulls in the early night sky, handheld but braced against a railing, full 20x telephoto on my Olympus (540mm equiv.). I took about ten shots before I got this one. Lucky. I converted this to black and white and lowered the exposure slightly to combat the noise in the original. That said, this was taken well after the sun went down.
