I like how you positioned the reflection in the first image, but I wish the moon wasn't quite as close to the top of the frame, and better light would of made it pop.
The Pano is really nice Nate, those clouds sweeping in diagonally are awesome!.

Yea.. I agree completely about the moon.. but after stitching it all together thats the best i could get for a frame. I suppose i could always digitally move it about a quarter inch down..

Thanks for the comment!

Cool, Nate, and thanks for the nod! I really must learn to do a proper pano sometime...
I hear you about the moon, i was cursing it's postion too high in the sky!

I think you're trying to hard to incorporate the moon in that first shot and the composition looks kind of forced because of it. Personally, I think it would look much better in a pano format without the moon (a moon that size doesn't add a whole lot IMO). That second shot it great. Love that complimentary sky.
