Here's a little tale that's a bit like magicians making things disappear. But it's I.T. people who can do it more easily than magicians.
Moonrise at the Pier, panoramic image taken by Sergio Garcia (Mexico) in Galveston, Texas, was the Runner-up in the category
Our Moon.
The link in the article was from the magazine
Astronomy Now. And why was this? Well, when I tried to get it from the competition website, the Moon had been cropped out of the picture. Whoops! What was the category again?
In the article, I quoted one of the judges who had said
A great picture of contrasts – planes and curves, bold colours and dusky atmosphere, human leisure and lunar features. The straight lines of the seashore and pier are perfectly balanced by the twirling loops of the roller coaster, the Ferris wheel and the Moon.
Well, a few days after the article appeared, I found that the Moon had been restored in the competition website image. BUT much of the rest of it was gone, so the above description didn't describe anything you could see in the image. Sigh.
