I'm with you Jim, I noticed this scene as I stepped outside for a few minutes to enjoy the nice warm 30 ish degree weather we were having waiting for the Kansas Jayhawks/Baylor Bears game to resume from a TV timeout. I saw the moon and the 1st contrail and went in to get my camera to photograph it and after I had shot about 3 shots I noticed the 2nd jet entering the frame and I thought how lucky can a guy get. Too bad I was using the 50D instead of the 6D because its much noisier than expected but I needed the extra reach. Paul

I actually prefer it with all 3 elements.
It is still rather minimalistic as it is.

Thanks for the kind comments but A reshoot??? odds of a 2 day crescent moon with a jet flying by early evening with a cloudless sky and me just happen to step outside and notice it is uncalculable. I could clone out the 1st contrail but not sure the work would be worth the end result. Paul

Nice...I would have preferred the single plane and moon...maybe a re-shoot if possible. This would be a winner. Traveller
