On my calibrated LCD which is rather dark at 120cd I don't see enough of that moutain ridge to make this one "special" for me. Maybe somebody else experienced the same problem on a darker scree, Otherwise this one might work quite fine for a moon shot.

Richard, I agree with Andreas' comment, I perceive the mountain ridge as very dark, too. I do think the comp would work quite well if the ridge was more clearly visible.

PS: thanks for your helpful comment on my last post

Seems too dark on my monitor as well. I'd consider boosting the exposure a bit on this one so we can see that ridge on the right.

Aren't we lucky to have such a wonderful satellite.
