These two make a very nice pairing. Unfortunately I had to go out early evening so didn't get them any closer together.

Image taken on 27th February at 18:17 with a Canon EOS 450d and 200mm 1/60th second at f/2.8

You can even see that Venus is a semi-crescent. Nice image Robert.

Thanks Mike. Venus is mega over exposed so I think I should have either done two different exposure settings or used exposure bracketing - will try to remember for next time !
