Description
here is the 3rd piece to my series of moon paintings. i call this one "BLUE MOON". this came out so much better then it looks in the photo. damn glare... i need some photo tips to get that out
i went out a little more on this one then my earlier paintings. i did a planet/moon with a smaller moon and instead of just a rocky landscape i gave it a waterfall.
hope ya like it.all critiques welcome and any tips on taking pics would be awesome.
**updated with a better photo**

Beautiful and chilly! I love it!
I am sure someone already suggested (I don't normally take the time to read all the comments), but try taking a picture outside...no flash and in the shade. It's pretty darn cold here and snowing, so I take pictures on the (sheltered) porch. If you don't have sheltered porch or patio, put a clean sheet or tarp down so your painting doesn't get wet or dirty.

Try for natural light and a tripod ? Interior light tends to give a yellowy tinge ( or make sure you white balance first, if you have the option ) .

Hmm...I'm not sure then. I remember having to photograph some of my big canvases when I was in my artist residence years ago, and it was a pain in the A. You could never get the lens exactly perpendicular to the canvas so there was always distortion as well ( we had nothing as sophisticated as nails in the wall there... )

take the pic outside, no flash, in the shade. also, you want to have the pic straight and take the picture on the same level, instead of tilting the camera or the painting.
If you don't want to do it outside, do it in a brightly lit room with the light above but not shining directly on it--like propped up against one of those tall floor lamps-- and another lamp with a shade across the room.
flourescents with opaque covers can cut glare as well.
I'm no professional photog, but that's what I do when I take pics of my friend's artwork, and it works well. No glare, and no distorted view caused by angles. Don't forget you can also straighten out a SLIGHTLY tilted object in a photo with minimal distortion in photoshop.
