In Another World

The main subject of this photo is the backside of an antique car headlamp, which caught my eye in a junkyard. I liked how the peeling paint and rust made it look like a globe with continents on it. The junkyard background was very busy, so I turned this into a composite, with a background photo that I took several years ago of Comet Neowise in the night sky. The compositing really enhanced the sense that the headlamp represented a planet somewhere in a different world.
