Nice catch with texture in both the rock an the moon. I'm wondering if a more pano crop might work here too.

I like the moon's position in relation to the cliff, and the last light on the cliff top is beautiful. Sure looks like an amazing place for a motel!

Chad,
Nice timing and great placement of the moon in the frame. The warm light on the cliffs is wonderful. I might be inclined to brighten that glow some without affecting the moon. I also like the more pano crop that Tony suggested; even just shaving some of the darker area off the bottom could work.

I'll throw another vote in for a pano crop as an interesting alternative. Also, it looks to me as if the moon is a little soft (but sharpened in post for this web version). In an image like this, where the moon is such an obvious element in the overall composition, I think it's important that it be in sharp focus. Using a different aperture might have worked better towards that end.
