Excellent view and a great combination of warm and cool colors in the sky, Bob. My only suggestion would be just a touch more detail in the shadow area on the RS. I'm on the fence about the moon as I could also see this working without it. Just a suggestion of course. Either way, nicely done.

Looks like you had favorable conditions down there. I agree with Ed to try and bring more shadow detail into the right side, as that seems to be the area with the most spires. The comp is too 50/50 for me here. While I know you wanted to get that moon in there, I think getting a lower vantage point might have been more beneficial in both preventing a split and giving more interest to the formations. That sky is so nice and the foreground is so dark that it's hard to appreciate the formations.

Beautiful scene Bob. Lovely colors and like your comp. I agree about the shadows but very nice as is.
