Went up to Loveland Pass for sunset last week. Road construction delayed me enough that I missed the sunset. As I was coming back down the western sky started to get a nice pink/purple glow to it and the crescent moon was setting so I pulled over to snap a few frames. This one was the best and it needed to be cropped to a pano format to remove a bunch of black foregoround. I don't think there is enough going on here to warrant keeping this but figured I see what you guys thought first.

Sure works for me as a prime example of a successful minimalist image. Besides, it's not like it's taking up space in a drawer. KEEP it!

I actually really like this shot. It is simple but it sucks my attention right in and holds it. Definitely a keeper in my book.

Too much sky, and the cloud is distracting. Crop it true pano so the sky and silhouette are balanced, with that great moon on the far side.

I agree with Stan about a crop from the top. The moon and little puffy cloud add just enough detail to hold my interest. Love the color too! Keep it.

I agree, keep it, that moon is what makes this work.
