Simon 28 Posted February 7 I'd thought I'd share this story with you all. I took several pictures of the full moon coming up behind St Michaels Mount in Cornwall last year. This one I uploaded as was, and then with a crop as I thought the ship spoiled the picture. As well as putting out with Alamy live news I also sometimes tweet my pics and sell to the local papers. The WMN put the picture on the whole of the front page including the ship. Shortly afterwards I had people emailing me asking to buy prints - all were related to the boat in some way, either the owners, crew etc. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Personally, I'm not a fan of manipulating editorial images. In fact, I find it scary. Edited Friday at 22:10 by John Mitchell Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jill Morgan 858 Posted Saturday at 13:25 When I first looked at it, I thought the boat makes the picture and wouldn't have considered cropping it out. Jill 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
domf 18 Posted Monday at 08:04 I think that the fact that the moon, castle (Church?) and boat are in alignment, and the contrast of colours of the yellow moon and red boat make the image interesting. If you remove the boat then it becomes one of millions of photos of just the full moon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
