This was a photo taken 2 days after the eclipse as the moon set near my home. I had also just sung the song "Moonglow" in a chorus, in the middle of that big snowstorm the day of the eclipse.  So, thinking moon mood...this resulted. Some Topaz, a lot of hand painting and Photoshop Liquify, and I don't remember what else. Had fun anyway.

Original photo Nikon D750, 10-80, 1/1000, f/10, ISO 800.

This is lovely, Cindy. The spiral motion of the moon depicted is wonderful. And the starbursts throughout the image are perfect for driving home the feeling that we are looking at the universe. One of your better images, in my opinion. Beautiful work. :D

This is like a scene from a dream, you could lose yourself in the mists of time quite happily!  Beautifully done, Cindy.  The swirling blue softness is like snuggling into a luxurious feather bed.  :D

Nice processing. Looks like it could be an illustration of a children's book.
