This was a grab shot. I liked the contrasting clouds and full moon as it was starting to rain.

Great mood to this Mark and the color of the sky is perfect to show off the moon I think.

My only suggestion would be to consider a non-centered version of it. The clouds break the symmetry for me and makes me want to see the moon at one of the power points in the image.

Beautiful "grab shot".

Pretty nice grab shot Mark, really like the way the clouds are framing the moon. Works for me, nicely done.

Cool moon capture Mark. The swirling clouds add a sense of drama. I also agree about having the moon off center would make for a less static comp. Nice as is though.

Mark,

I agree with the comments about the composition. I do like the dark clouds. The blue sky could be just a bit darker, and you cold also bring up the high values some.

Dramatic image Mark, I also like the contrasting light/dark clouds that frame the moon.
Great "grab" shot if there ever was one

Well done
