Pintail Moon

I took this image, or should I say two images, at Bosque. The moon and birds were present at the same time, but I took two separate images and blended them together. Processed with Lightroom, Photoshop and Lightzone. Comments and critiques welcome.

Canon 1DX Mark II

A nice composite.  I tried for this shot at Bosque but the birds wouldn't cooperate.

Nice job with this blend Jerry. Nice group shot of the pintails and perfect BG with the moon.  I tried to take a similar shot in California's San Joaquin delta a few months back, but the mist in the air killed the clarity of both the birds and the moon for me.
