Thanks quarters for giving me the first place...I never thought that, As I am noob in forum and the photographic world(and this is my 1st time submission in any challenge)...What I excepted for my shot is a good criticism.

According to the shot, No post processing in computer....only crop lower portion using GIMP...coz there are some cable hanging out in the original shot.

Thanks gjh1020....Your composition is too interesting

According To My eyes (Consider as I am newbie)

Seen Better Days:- Great Variations of Colors
Blue Angel Star :- Interesting Subject Matter
Broken Sky:- Nice Concept

Moon Silhouette:- Outstanding Beauty.
