    Really nice composition but the color of the sky kind of bothers me. I'd be interested to see what this looks like with a more pinkish sky or maybe even some cooler tones. I obviously wasn't there but with all the stagnant air we've had recently, I wouldn't be surprised if this is how it actually looked.

    Was this from your Point of Arches trip or a more recent one that I don't know about?

    I'm liking it. Nicely composed great telephoto work and a very unique shade of red.

    It looks like a tradition Chinese painting. Very pleasing to look at. I'm envious of this shot, which is getting to be a regular thing with you images. :bluduh rolleyes1.gif Great work, Mahesh.

    I love it Mahesh, there's kind of a Yin Yan feel to it, with the moon down on the left and the tree on the upper right. Great colors, and no noise!

    stunning, I could only hope to have a shot like this in my collection!

    could you revise and mask the moon? or it this just what it is?

    Thanks, everyone! This image has become my new favorite image. I love the simplicity and (dare I say it) elegance of it. My wife loves it also (which is more important to me than anything :D). I shot this with heavy underexposure to really bring out the red color in the sky. The color is pretty much as I saw it. I focused on the FG tree and cliff, sacrificing sharpness on the moon. I could have double exposed, but somehow, I really like the "natural" slight OOF appearance of the full moon. There must have been a thin layer of clouds present on the horizon also, because there is a slight glow around the moon, which I also really, really like. Overall, I'm very happy with the way this turned out, and I'm glad y'all enjoyed it also.

    Danny, I promise the colors of the sky was pretty close to what you see here.
