Man in the Moon

We waited over an hour in hopes the moon would come up in the right place and the elk would stay put. Now, how often does that happen? It's always better to be lucky than good.

Neet shot. Yes it's good to be lucky, but then you have to be good enough not to blow the shot when it comes. Congrats. :toast:

Great luck with the composition. I wish it was possible to have the moon in focus, too, but that would have been near impossible, I'm guessing.
