Nice rendering, virtually no flare. A good lens. in M42 mount I presume.

Thanks Philslizzy, yes, it's a M42 mount copy, actually I made a serie of shots to get one acceptable in terms of exposure and composition, and had to discard some flared ones, but with a dozen of them, flare showed up in 2 or 3, not all, even with the lens pointing directly toward the moon and fire. Glad you'd liked it,

Wow, this is something wonderful. Very well balanced tonality.

(I have tried similar composition several times and, I must admit, always ended up either with too much clipped fire, or with too dark shadows without detail...)
