A very quiet composition. I would like this better without the horizon being smack in the middle. Is that bright object the moon?

Yes, indeed it is the moon.
You mean use the rule of the third, so the horizon is in the lower third of the photo?

Raied,

Welcome to NPN and the Landscape gallery! Very interesting first post here. I like the design and patterns on the ground pulling the eye in to the frame. To me though, slightly more than 1/2 the image is a big empty sky - all be it the moon really helps, but I don't think enough though. also, the light on the left appears like artificial light? Hard to figure out the source there, although it certainly helps with illuminating the patterns in the mud.

Thanks for posting and we look forward to more images and for your participation in the galleries.

Welcome,
Lon
