"Solstice Full Moon Rising" by Anthony Ayiomamitis. It was a "Highly Commended" photo in the "Earth & Space" category. It shows the rising full moon against the Temple of Poseidon (built 450-440 BC) in southern Greece. It took Ayiomamitis fifteen months to plan the exact time and position at which to get the shot. The light is right for the picture for less than five minutes. (© Anthony Ayiomamitis)
