I went out a couple weeks ago to get the lunar eclipse - unfortunately clouds blocked the moon. :cry I walked away with this however. I just wish I could have had the crimson moon framed in this shot.

Great light but not enough of a story for me. I would say it needs one more element like a bird or something????

Actually, I really like the simplicity of the picture, along with the blue waters.

I really like the atmosphere here. Lovely colors and the contrast between blue and orange. I don't think the moon would fit in the particular photo though.

Thanks everyone.

It was the light here that I really liked. That and I was standing around hoping the the clouds would clear to show me the moon - I had to shoot something, right?

Agreed, they really pop out with contrast. Nicely done.

Since those don't exist then perhaps getting rid of a lot of the background/foreground? The radio tower in the background had to go.

After taking a few suggestions into account, I played with the photo a bit more and updated it. See what you think.
