Should I keep the moon or delete it? It's for a portfolio and can't look fake. Thanks for your thoughts.

How much re-touching in #1? I like it a whole lot more than with-out. IMO

I think without the moon. The picture looks great on its own.

Rex, I backed off slightly on the contrast and with the shadows on the slopes I felt it could use a moon which I put in using ACD PRO 5. Thank you for commenting.

If it wasn't such a hazy moon I'd say keep it, but without looks fine because of the haze problem.

Again just my opinion, but the moon(haze as it is)lends credence to the light cast on the mountain-tops. If no moon, I would crop the sky down a bit to the "rule of thirds", and not have the 50/50 sky/mountains.

I agree with most others. Keep the moon as it provides a bit of character (a mood) that is not captured in the shot without it. And it lends credence to the shadows on the mountains.
