EDITORS COMMENTS
This print by Alan Dyer showcases the ethereal beauty of a full moon surrounded by a mesmerizing halo in the night sky. The celestial spectacle takes place amidst a backdrop of wispy cirrus clouds and contrails, creating an enchanting atmosphere. Positioned above the iconic constellation Orion, the moon's luminous glow is enhanced by the 22-degree halo that encircles it. The optical phenomenon captured in this image is caused by ice crystals present in the high cirrus clouds, refracting and reflecting light to form concentric rings around the moon. This natural prism effect adds an element of mystery and intrigue to an already breathtaking scene. Dyer's skillful photography captures not only the scientific wonder but also highlights nature's inherent beauty. The contrasting colors between the dark night sky and bright lunar illumination create a striking visual contrast that evokes a sense of awe-inspiring grandeur. With no human presence visible, this photograph invites viewers to immerse themselves fully into its atmospheric mood. It serves as a reminder of our smallness within the vastness of space while simultaneously showcasing nature's ability to create moments of sublime magnificence. In summary, Dyer’s stunning print encapsulates both scientific fascination and artistic appreciation for nature’s wonders – presenting us with an exquisite display of light, color, and celestial harmony.
