Thanks for everyone's continued feedback - and I appreciate the compliments too
On the dark bottom - I *think* that's a high-frequency area of dark green scrub (As opposed to the smoother and lighter red rock) in the original (which is not in front of me at the moment) and you can see a similar area in the top/middle left.
On the moon position, the reason I ask is that its close to even with the top of the hill, leaving a bunch of empty space at the top. My thinking is/was that if I pulled it up and to the right a (little) bit, it might better complete the "z" pattern of the image starting lower right to left with the lighter rock, mid left to mid right with they Ridgeline, the the moon would pull the viewer through the frame to the upper left.
Or perhaps I'm just overthinking the framing as Russ suggested
