Caption:
Tourists watch the moon slide in front of the sun during a solar eclipse in
the Australian outback town of Lyndhurst, north of Adelaide. The town is one
of four in the country where the 26-second full eclipse of the sun could be
seen (Wednesday, December 4, 2002)

Critique: I found this photo to be very interesting because of the story it
told. In this photo the CVI(the moon) is in relative focus. This photo was
probably shot with a slow shutter speed because only the moon is in focus.
This photo also has a short depth of field because the people are soft. The
people act as leading lines because you can look at them but they lead you
to the moon. The light that comes off the moon also makes the photo
interesting. The light seems to frame the moon, because everything around
the moon seems to be dark but the light brings the eye to the moon.
