October Photo Challenge - Entries (Post them here)

The topic this month is: "Foreground/Background".

This thread is only for posting your entries and any comments you'd like to make about your own photo.
If you would like to comment on other entries please use the comments thread.
As usual, one entry per person and the image must be your own work.
Normal forum rules and image size applies.

The image doesn't necessarily have to have been taken this month but we do encourage you to go out and enjoy the challenge.

The winner of the poll, which will be run at the end of the month, will get to choose next month's topic.

Good luck and good shooting.

Take-two, a year after the first accidental one.

[Edit] After I removed that one shot from around 680 in a time-lapse sequence, it sold all over the world half a dozen or so times, so I thought I would return and do it properly.

Lots of time and planning went into this to get the leaves back on the trees and the Milky Way in just the right position. This is a single exposure, (No stacking, blending or layers) using different physical light-sources experimenting with duration, angle, strength and colour. I pretty much spent a whole night to get the shot right, running all over the paddock with lights and modifiers, then when the MW was in position, nailed it!

Possum's Palace

A nice outlook to view a cricket match. Look closely and you'll see the possum's abode was taken over by an Owl?

Visiting a mate in Canberra and also did the touristy thing. Foreground is the Quadruped from DSS 42, a 34m antenna decommissioned in 1998 and dismantled in 2000. In the background is the 74 metre DSS 43... only it looks like someone has got hold a a bizarre shrinkray and brought it down to size .

Approaching storm from our holiday this month in the Flinders Ranges S.A.
Rawnsley's Bluff panorama from 6 frames. Hard to keep below 200k!
Full size b/w and colour version much better.
