Always check behind you

Mike, I agree. I had a similar experience at The Grand Canyon.
Very nice capture here. You did well.

I'm think more like this. Crop on the right. Burn down the very bright foreground rocks and the lower right corner with a soft-light burn/dodge layer in PS. Just a thought. It is too bad that there is not more room above the moon.

Beautiful shot! Love it as is. I too, have found that turning around 180° is usually quite a surprising photo opportunity.

I do like the picture - but I'd try cropping off about the bottom 60% so it looks like a panorama. You have the sharpness to pull it off and I think I like it better that way.

Bob, I tried your suggestion. What do you think?

Excellent capture! I have taken the same shot there under the same circumstances and I have edited it three times. I am still not sure I have it right.
Thanks Mike, I always feel that I could do a little better edit with all my images. Utah is such a beautiful place, it's hard not to come back with a nice images. Mike

Absolutely breathtaking scenic, with exquisite light and color. I have shot moonset at sunrise and found lovely pastel colors in my western sky, plus have photos of western mountaintops hit by first rays of sunrise behind me, so I whole-heartedly endorse your message!
Hi Linda, thanks for the compliment. I find that I like the moonrise just a couple of days before the full moon. The almost full moon rises before the sun fully sets allowing you to catch the more subtle tones and softer colors. This capture was a learning experience for me. Mike

Your moonrise at sunset is exceptional, hard to believe you didn't use a tripod. Geologists would love this image especially. If anything, a touch of brightness at the center would balance the tones.
Congratulations!
Congratulations!
Thanks ssymeono for looking. There was enough light for a good exposure so a tripod wasn't needed. I added a touch of brightness to the center. Is this what you were thinking?

There's another reason to always check behind you. I was in the Great Smokey Mountains when I saw a mass of color, it turned out to be around a hundred butterflies near a puddle of water on the side of the road. I got out to take pictures. After a few minutes I got the feeling I was being watched, when I turned around I saw this. Tried to get a shot at a bear for a few years, this time I wasn't. Fortunately I had my other camera with my 100=400 just inside the car.
Hi Chris, thanks for viewing. I try not to let the bears sneak up behind me. Successful so far. Nice shot of the black bear.

One of the best shots I've seen on UHH or for that matter anywhere. Sublime. 
Hi wds0410, your too kind. Thanks for the compliment. I'm still not on par with some of the many excellent photographers here on this site.

That is an excellent capture and certainly illustrates your point. As far as improving the photo, it's wonderful as it stands. Unless maybe a silhouette of ET on a bike against the full moon..............................
Thanks Rich for viewing and your feedback. Regarding ET, as far as I know, he hasn't visited UT yet. But I'll be on the lookout for him on my next trip. LOL. Mike

Thanks Bob for viewing. I'm still in awe of the Grand Canyon. I could easily forget to look behind me. Mike

Hi Bob, thanks for taking the time to provide suggestions for improvement. I'm always torn between adding more info for context vs focusing in on the subject. I added a little bit of sky back in. Is this any better? Mike
