Full Moon despite..
.. the clouds and vapour trails. I've had a go at combining two images, one exposed for the vapour trail, the other for the Moon.
Any advice on how to improve the image would be appreciated.

Sigma SD14 dslr
Sigma 50-500 EX zoom
RAW adjustment SPP3
Combined etc in PS Elements 5

Image one f11 4s ISO 100 191mm (50-500)
Image two f5.6 1/50s ISO 100 191mm (50-500)

Nice shot - I'm so annoyed that I completely forgot about the eclipse! I'd be tempted to brighten the moon quite a bit or darken the sky... it just looks a little bit pasted on somehow. Not an easy one - especially with high cloud like that. Tristan

I like the moon shot and its setting, but i agree with Tristan that the vapour cloud looks a bit unnatural, maybe darken the vapour cloud?

Cheers,
