Description
What to some looks like some sort of odd UFO or mysterious orb is merely lens flare, from shooting directly into the light of the rising moon, at night. I've digitally enhanced with slight posterization, and increased saturation of color applied globally to the entire image. Otherwise, it's not a manipulated photo.

Gregory, I really like this image, the second moon looks like it was meant to be... beautiful shot!!

The ethereal nature of lens flares is such that they do not exist tangibly nor without the almost arcane science of a camera's frame. The narrow confluence of elements which produces natural sun flares predicates that capturing a moon flare be even more so.

Such an esoteric enigma . . the long exposure for a moment had me thinking it sun with heavy cloud haze and filters, but no . . The moon is so softly haloed almost melting above the dark silhouette of tree-rimmed ridge and such a vast expanse of sky above .. .and a small mysterious sphere caught in the heavens to the upper left . . .
