Corn Moon over the valley

[MattBurt]

I tried to get moonrise photos on Saturday evening but it was too cloudy and I just got rained on.
So Sunday I tried again although the moon rising 10 minutes after sunset would increase the difficulty level. Low clouds to the east delayed its appearance even longer but I managed to catch a few photos from a nice quiet spot off an old logging road that I drove my truck up to.
Dynamic range was too high to do this with a single exposure like I prefer so this is two blended shots.
The haze is from wildfires still burning to the west. The W is the largest collegiate symbol in the world (or something like that) and represents my alma mater Western Colorado University (formerly Western State College).

Good one.

It works; the moon peeping over the clouds is appealing. It's a little too tightly cropped at the top IMHO.

Thanks!

Thank you! I can't disagree. I was zoomed as tight as possible for maximum moon magnification. I probably should have backed of 10mm or so.

That's a trap into which I continue to fall with depressing frequency.
