Moon over Landscape

Eia

Just having a little fun. We went to an area that was quite serene and very quiet. I thought the sunset matched the sounds. But, the moon was so small using my wide lens. I took the landscape with a wide angle, then used a zoom for the moon - and morphed it together. the last is my usual close up of the landscape. Suggestions/comments always welcome!

For me, #3 is the standout photo of the group. The color is very natural looking, the detail is amazing, and the bokeh makes for a terrific background.

The only suggestion I would make has to do with composition. The viewers eyes are naturally drawn to the leading edge of the cactus (well, at least mine are) in this composition. There's nothing wrong with that; it's a very pretty picture of a cactus. But there's an element of energy or drama that's untapped because of that centeredness. I think it would be more pleasing for the viewer to have that edge along the rightmost third of the frame - leading the viewers eyes toward the other 2/3ds of the frame, by the curvature of the plant itself.

If you have the ability to re-crop it, I'd love to see the difference.
