Moon Setting - Palmer Park
I took this yesterday morning at Palmer Park in Colorado Springs...luckily my school had a 90 minute delay, so I took the opportunity to get outside, take pictures, and freeze. Overall, it was a great morning. More pictures and a bigger version of this one can be seen on my flickr account. Thanks for looking.

Love the first, but it could be shown a bit bigger.

I like the color and the moon and the color in the first image. Would like to see posted larger.

#1 is nice, great color, nice comp and the tree silhouettes are cool.

I like the first: nice comp, nice color. The second just doesn't have enough going on in the foreground to hold my attention.

I like #1. The tree silhouettes are really nice and so is the contrast between sky, snow and rocks. I think it might benefit from a small crop off the top just to tightened things up a bit. The back lighting in #2 is really nice, but for me, the dark right side detracts from this image. I think cropping quite a bit off the right would strengthen this a lot. I'd like to see them both larger.
