 This is a real lunar eclipse, 3AM New Years Day, slightly enhanced. Taken with a 2x converter.

Cropped, colour balance layer to make it blue, duplicated background layer and set to multiply, merge visible layers, resized, usm four times, saved for web.

This shot will tank. Every other shot of mine has recently, apart from the tigers, and even a tiger shot is tanking in the free study. So therefore this shot will tank. And it will crush me.

I don't think it was that blue lol but I really love the color. Actually, I wouldn't mind seeing a moon that blue - it would be pretty! Great capture.

Very blue indeed:) A little underexposed, could be just a tad brighter.
