Venus 15 March 10

This is the first time I've posted a photo on the forum. Not sure if it's in the right place!

Taken with a Panasonic Lumix FZ28 camera on sunset setting (still trying to figure out the manual settings!)

What are the chances of getting Venus exactly betwen two twigs on the tree!!!

Great composure and DOF, the way the branches are in focus and background blurred - quite striking that image Carol.

Thanks Alan & Markc for your comments.

I'm fairly new to both astronomy and photography so it's helpful to know what others think.

Nice composition. The camera didn't help by focussing on the tree thus making Venus a large out of focus disk. It however makes an effective photograph!!

Well done
