Cold Moon Setting
I took several shots of the moon setting over Powell Butte with Mt. Jefferson partially shrouded by clouds. Three bracketed shots yielded the best results, and although this one looks somewhat artificial, it was my favorite (the darkest of the three shot bracket) and was only lightened slightly...no saturation boost.

Canon 7d with 100-400mmL at 100mm
ISO 100, f/13 at 1/10s

Thanks, David and Bruce. I'd hate to print this at home ;-). I did very little post processing on this one...just a tish of lightening on the foreground and some slight exposure reduction on the moon.

Nice night shot Marylynne. I really like the moon and how you can see a hint of the mountain. Doesn't look artificial to me.
