Wow! Thank-you everyone for the Great comments! I'll have to admit that this is my first entry as a Mac user! I found a 27inch iMac under a tree in December and have been converting from PC for a few weeks now . I really notice the difference and am feeling very grateful right now.
This Moon shot is taken in Banff National Park in Alberta Canada at the edge of Cascade Mountain, its one of many shots that morning. It was very windy and cloudy so the moon would go from total obscurity in clouds to full brilliance in a matter of 30 seconds. so tripod adjustments are nearly constant as the moon itself moves quite quickly as well. Thank-you all again

Congrats for the Blue, very well deserved.
I am really interested in hearing about your experience moving Mac, as I intend to buy the same exact computer you are talking about,
If there is a posibility of opening a thread to document the experience and PM me the link, it would be great.
All the best and cheers,
Congratulations on your very well deserved win. I knew mine would place behind this one of yours. Superb capture of the moon on the ridge. It's just right!
Nice image. The brown / gray towns in the fog / clouds are an interesting contrast with the sharp black silhouette. Clear picture of the moon. Would have been nice if the sky were less noisy -- you can see it even in this small size.
Reminds me of the movie ET for some reason with the tree silhouettes against the moon. Good focus from foreground to the Moon, and I like the muted colors of the sky and clouds. I think I would have cropped along the right side more around the first major dip in the trees to bring the Moon a big more off the center area (not that it's centered, but close) and maybe crop up to the base of the first group of trees on the bottom edge. These are just my thoughts, but I feel you will do well here. 8
