Nice shot. The colors of the water are impressive in particular the greenish foreground. Does the grass shine?

Very peaceful.
Because everything rises in the east and sets in the west, I think this is the start of a moonset.

Possibly So. Thanks for the info. (I changed the title  ;D)

Sorta kinda. If it's wet, it gets more of a glow to it but dry, it's pretty much matte green/yellow-brown/gray.

Huh!!!???

That is a full moon (or close) so a sunset is accompanied by a moonrise.

Actually, I think it was a sunrise and a waxing moon (just barely). I shot this same shot for several months until I got everything in the right place at the right time. So let's call it Moon Over Pretty Bayou and let it be.

It does have that look now that you mention it. Perhaps a little of Hokusai or more contemporary, Hasui. I like Japanese block prints.

I don't care what sets where. I do care about a wonderful photograph. And this is it.

Both the sun and the moon set in the west. And it is indeed a wonderful photograph.

Out of curiosity, can you check EXIF and tell us the exact date and time?

No...I do know from other images made around that time it was shot between 5:30 am and 6:10 am, sun is rising to the east (right side of the frame). As to whether it is a waxing or waning moon...can't remember. This was an archived image that I decided deserved a better process that the original image.

Please educate me then (no sarcasm here). While it might sound like unnecessary hairsplitting, I am trying to learn something, so bear with me.

I've been under impression so far that, at fool moon, sunset coincides with moonrise, thus sunrise with moonset. While, as you said, "everything rises in the east and sets in the west," it happens at different times of day, thus again, when sun rises in the east, moon sets in the west, and vice versa.

Yes, at full moon, moonrise occurs around sunset.

Chris' nice image shows moonrise and sunrise in the east. The moon came up before the sun.

The moon travels around the earth once each 28 days, so every day it rises roughly an hour later.

The moon's times and positions are complex... it used to take an old planetarium program of mine a good half-minute to provide moon data.

It might be helpful to download a free planetarium program. Set the time interval to one day and watch the sun and moon move over a year.
