Wondering if and how I should crop this?

Lovely scene as is, no cropping needed.

I'll join the chorus here - don't crop - it is a magical image as is!

No cropping. The point where the clouds and mountains connect is a very important part of this composition. Remove that and the whole image comes apart.

I agree.

And I will presume to speak on behalf of Russ, who for some reason hasn't yet chimed in  ;)

Russ is just sitting back and chuckling: "At last the masses are beginning to see the Truth!"  :D

I vote for the no crop. A fine image as it is.

I wouldn't crop it, but if you could move the moon up & to the left a little ...


What?  :)

Why not? Takes 2 seconds with the Content-Aware Move tool.

I think the moon's fine where it is boys.

 I'd move the moon to somewhere in front of the mountain. That would give you a unique shot.   :D

As a result of overwhelming feedback, behold, "The full Moon" - On top of the mountain. In Iceland. At twilight. For my 500th post.

ps - yes I know the blending is not very good.

A double moon. One for each eye. Cool!

Now that is Art!
It must be the only mountain around with cartoon-like bug eyes.
Bravo!   :D

The eye is not the part of anatomy that sprang immediately to my mind.

Ah! You're thinking of what Bart Simpson often does, called "mooning."
