According to TPE, this is one of the few months of the year to have a good view of the nearly full moon rising between the spires of Cathedral Rock in Sedona.

As the moon rose, a change in position left or right and closer kept the moon close to a center spire.

Really well done series, Doug.

Thank you for the comments. Any hints and nits are welcome.
Since I had previous problem in blowing out snow and the Monument Valley moon, I underexoped so the histogram was up agains the left. Seemed to have worked ok.
Also, in processing (kinda a 1 year newb with PSE7), I was trying to prevent a lightening of the sky around the rock due to the contrast adjustment. Maybe my eyes are tricking me due to the color contrast between red and blue. I posted another photo in Man& Nature with two hikers between the spires that gives a good sense of scale.

Nicely composed and exposed. No nits whatsoever.
My nod goes to #1, but I like every one of 'em!
I find #1 to be the most appealing to me as well, but maybe clone out the people standing near the spire on the left border.
