OK, so I know that it is not a very good photograph, but somehow I like it. I shot it from a bridge over our local train station, near Berlin, after sunset. It was a beautiful view, you could hardly see any stars, just these two planets, and there was still some red glow on the horizon, the light of the setting sun melting in the haze from Berlin city lights.

I like the image also. It has three distinct color zones in the dark sky and the planets, alone, shining brightly. I saw this conjunction but the viewing conditions in my area were horrible. Nice capture.

I like the image as well. I think it's actually well done with a nice smooth flow from dark at the top to light at the bottom. This is my favorite area of photography so I always enjoy seeing such photographs.

Well, I like it. High-resolution astrophotography is great, but these events are easily seen with the naked eye and your image conveys the satisfaction of seeing them for yourself in the evening sky.
