A couple of people wondered what Jupiter had to do with this shot - well, it's the bright object in the top left of the frame. Currently very visibile with the naked eye, just looks like a bright star.
I saw this cauldron of clouds one night a quickly took a couple of shots for the clouds challenge. Hand held at night so was a bit tough. As it turns out I didn't think they were good enough so I entered something else.
I did however like this shot as it felt a bit more surreal, so I entered it in the Posthumous Ribbon challenge. I never really expected it to do well, and the score I received backed that view up. Still, it was nice to have something different in voting.

Your lunar cauldron is very cool. I think I would have been tempted to crop the trees at the bottom out. In a challenge where it's not a crime to go blurry, I still wonder how this would have looked with more clarity/detail in the clouds. Quite enjoyable, despite my overthinking. 7
The idea behind the Posthumous Ribbon is to encourage you to break the rules, to find new and different ways to express yourself. To free your mind to think clearly toward the solution that is certain to come, to laugh at world and at life, not doing what others are expecting you to do, but just following and listening to what's in your heart. DPC it’s a wonderful learning place where everyone should be supported on their way to be a photographer. A special attention should be aimed to those working hard with different views and approaches to photography, those not aligned with the mainstream taste and receiving no recognition. It’s our responsibility to support these photographers creating diversity and expressing different visions. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to do it. Being active at the Posthumous thread it’s the best way to protect your and the other’s freedom of being different. Thanks for taking the time to enter this challenge. Stay wild.
An original take on backyard astrophotography. The weird foreground foliage (looks like shag) and oddly textured sky suggest something much more otherworldy.
