I usually prefer color but wasn’t expecting this many votes for the color version, but preferably not so intense. I saturated it to create more contrast with the clouds, but the softer blue is probably better for softening the wispy clouds.
I tried repositioning the moon by cropping it differently, but the clouds didn’t balance out the way I wanted.
I still prefer the black and white version, and R.G. put it well as to why.
Thanks for responding with your honest thoughtful comments.

I photographed the moon in the afternoon last week and prefer the black and white version. Which version do you think is better?

It was interesting to watch the colors and textures materialize during the editing process.

Beautiful blue hour with city lights on the water.

I personally like to see some surroundings. I find this to be perfect! You have great light, color and details, and a very engaging profile shot.
If you're experience G.A.S., you should own up to it and not make us your enablers

Linda, this is so good to hear. It's like winning an Iron Chef competition where the excellent judges rave about your work! I really don't want to buy a huge, heavy and expensive lens and will push off the G.A.S. monster...after I get the flash gear I need.

Thanks, I'm probably being too hard on myself.

Where was the photo taken?
It was in my backyard in Southern California.

No, I meant perpendicular to the lens.
So looking straight down the length of it, similar to a shot of a road straight down the middle from the middle of the road. Plus greater DOF. I can try it next time it rains.

Beautiful shot, Craig. What good would a longer lens do?
Thanks, Mike. I think it would allow me to fill the sensor more to capture the feather details.
I use an Olympus OM-1 micro four-thirds camera, so full frame equivalents are double - My lens is a 40-150mm with 1.4 teleconverter, which is half the 300mm minimum that birders use. They also have longer, recently 200-600mm non-pro that takes the 1.4 and 2.0 teleconverters.
Or I just try to get much closer to the bird without scaring it away.

Do I need a longer lens for this to be considered good? It’s from about 15 feet away.

I like it, I think you've got enough contrast in there, but I wonder if a greater depth of field would make a better image. I'd also like to see this head on.
Thanks, John. Do you from directly overhead?

Thanks, Don. I saw the clouds and went up the hill hoping to catch something like this.... and got it!
