Morning Moon

Taken just before sunrise with moon set in near future. The morning was still at Assateague Island. Just wondering if this little island in the center of the composition is working for you.
C&C welcome and appreciated,

Wonderful mood and lovely image, but I do wish the water was a bit darker than the sky. Also, there's a dark halo around the moon reflection that needs to be fixed.

A simple but beautiful scene, wouldn't mind seeing it just a hair brighter.

I like the comp. This sort of feels upside-down since the reflection should be darker than the sky. While this has appeal still, I could see making the sky and it's reflection the same tone to enhance the abstract quality of the image.

The composition of this is wonderful. From an abstract standpoint, the reversal of tone between the sky and water certainly snaps one's mind a bit. I agree about fixing the halo around the moon's reflection.

This one of those images that has potential for different renderings. Experiment and see what happens!

Thanks all for the exelent thoughts, Very interesting to me that I'm now realizing that I used a grad - nd filter here making the sky darker. DOOOOO!

So simple, so beautiful
I noticed a hallow surrounded by the reflected moon

Nice details in the grasses. I could see a bit of a crop off the bottom. :toast:
