About the Image(s)
I happened to take this photo on my way home. The light reflection from a road convex mirror on the ground looked just like the moon. I enhanced the rough texture to make it feel like lunar craters.
It’s a bit disappointing that the lines along the edge of the road stand out so much visually, but I left them as they are because I felt touching it more might ruin it. I’d love to hear your constructive feedback on this!

Hi It certainly feels like the moon. Very nice. Try repeating the picture holding the camera portrait direction, further away and longer focal length (like 85mm). You will be able to avoid the white lines.

I like this photo but don't see it as the moon but a very interesting spot on the ground. The white lines keep bringing my eyes back into the center of the photo so I can try to figure out what I am looking at. Posted: 08/12/2026 18:18:49
This image is a conversation piece, Taeyoung and our shadow really adds to the impact.

As re the lines, keep them. But I can see the toning down the line on the left would be helpful This can be done by selecting it. Then using a HSL slider /tool reduce the luminosity.
Nice job, adding texture!
