Subject: Today's Moon

Date & Time: March 20, 2017, 9:32 am
Gear: Nikon D7200, Nikon 200-500/5.6 @ 480mm, G1325, RRS BH-55
Exposure: ISO 800, Aperture Priority Matrix Meter, 1/5000th sec at f/5.6

I took this on a whim while out today and just now realized it would make a good fit for the weekly challenge. I see Barb Pflaum already had a similar thought!

Honest critiques requested; all comments appreciated.

A fine look at the hafl moon in daylight, Richard.  (I was just shooting an Osprey against this moon a couple of days ago...will post that in avian at some point fairly soon.)  Centering the moon maximizes the area for icons on either the left or right and the blue sky will let them show very well.
