Whoa, this is great. I suspect the light on the peak was gone by the time the moon cleared the ridge line. Or the moon was too bright by then. I prefer the color if you're polling.

Mark,
There is always something special about a full moon rising over the landscape. You've caught this perfectly, especially with the last bit of light on the peak. The dusting of snow is quite literally icing on the cake. Wonderful image.
No nit picking here. Although as an alternate crop, you might take some off the bottom, maybe as much as the entire lower ridge (that has no snow.) I think a pano crop would emphasize the long ridge line of the mountain. Just a thought. But I certainly think this is beautiful as captured and presented.
Oh, color for me all the way.
Lon

Nicely timed and great job exposing both the moon and the dark foreground properly. The warm glow of the moon really stands out in the color version but I think I prefer the simplicity of the BW rendering. In either rendering, I think the hillside could benefit from a slight bump in contrast.

Great timing on this. The window is very narrow when the lighting works for these kinds of shots. I think a slight crop off bottom and right to keep the aspect ratio might make it stronger. Some of the lower snow spots seem very bright, especially noticeable on the BW. Not sure if you're able, to would be great to pull out some of the texture of the darker trees. Very nice.

Beautiful scene. It is close, but I prefer the B&W. The contrasts seem to pop more for me. I like the suggestions on the crops and bump in contrast, but minor stuff.

What a beautiful image. Serene and haunting. The various tones and the undulating shape of the land stand out in sharp contrast to the rising moon and the sky. The light on the peak is a lovely touch. I am also particularly fond of the overall mood, which I suppose can be attributed to the color palette.
