Moonset over the Moraine
This image was taken in November of 2006 in Rocky Mountain National Park. I treked out into the Moraine on a windy pre-dawn morning and shot the moonset over the mountains. I remember that the Park Ranger was very interested in my parked car that was seemingly deserted.

Thanks for looking. Have a great weekend!

10D, 24-70L @ 27mm, 3.0 @ f19, ISO 200, AF

Really excellent composition Wayne. The processing looks completely natural which is amazing considering the moon and mountain highlights.

Great job!

I would say another one of your classic shots Wayne. Very lovely. You found a wonderful spot to capture the the "Moonset Over The Moraine". I really like the look of the grasses as they cushion the streams edges. A wonderful look all around.

Exposure must have been something of a bear on this one. You balanced things out very nicely. Makes me wish I were there . . . with a big coat on of course!

Definitely some beautiful water and grasses, but the pink clouds really make this shot, I think...great work Wayne!

Great composition - the S curve of the creek pulls me in. I like the wavy grasses along the edge and your pink clouds are very purty!!
