Moon over Cedar Canyon

I checked all the charts and expected the moon to be just above the horizon as the sun is coming up. unfortunately that did not materialize.The moon was much higher in the sky. So here is the almost full moon in the clouds.

Simple but very pleasing. Just need to clean that dirty sensor;)

Great hot of the moon. These are always a pleasure to look at. Clouds, a great addition. Great job Richard.

I like this a lot, Richard! Beautiful detail in the moon. My nit would be the dust spots but otherwise this works real well!

Beautiful detail. I find this image very calming to look at. There's something so laid back about moon and clouds and morning blue sky. Feels like Saturday. Thanks

This has a very nice balance to it and the details on the moon are great. this is worth spending a few moments to clone out the dust spots or as Mr Yoong suggested go the extra mile and clean the sensor. Well done.

Well captured and processed, Richard. The clouds really make this image.
