A nicely spread flock of cranes outlined perfectly against the moon.

Photographers Comment

So many thanks from me (Bernd Gerlich, Germany) for this unexpected "Mark of Excellence". It's the first photo I ever uploaded to an I-S-I-competition and it is successful at once! I took this photo with my Canon 700D with 500 mm lens and tripod on 29.9.2015 at 7:00 am in Mecklenburg-Vorpommern, a part of North-Eastern-Germany. Behind me the sun raised and it got more and more light. There came several flocks of cranes - below the moon and above the moon and right in the middle, but then - naturally - in a tangled crowd. But in the end it was right and and that's the only important thing. There was no post processing.
