Same 2 shots (one exposed for clouds, one for moon) But I let PSE do the first one, I did the second, Increased fill light so the corners were not so dark, and left some clouds over the moon.

Very sweet the first one! The effects work well.would make a super poster.

That first shot is great. The second shot would be good were it not for the fact that the clouds really obscure the moon.
Very nice!

Better? worse? I am liking the first one the best myself so far

I like the original 1st pic. I think the latest version is getting a little too bright. I like the darkness of night around the first one.

[Robert_Lay]

Worse - I think this one looks contrived.

[Mikeroscope]

Yeah the 1st one original is the best. I might like it more if it had a tighter crop.

[vpnd]

1st one.

[scorpio_e]

my vote is for number one:)

[Bill98501]

I like the first one best to, now. I am just learning PSE, came from DPP. Its like, wow look what Happens when I do this. But after a few days, I tend to like my originals better.

Much worse. Looks so photoshopped with that dark ring (of a bad selection) around the moon.
And COMPOSE the frame! Rule of Thirds, anything(!) is better than in the freakin' middle.

[ScottKCooper]

I like #1 centered, and I only say centered as the light fades away through the clouds in a ring.

The dark ring was actually in the sky.

Thats insane. So the moon has an atmosphere? Or some other repellant of clouds 200,000 miles away? I used to shoot eclipses and at best this looks like some ecliptic event.

1st one is the winner by miles for me. Like others said, perhaps a tighter crop might improve it slightly but that's up to you.

[nugent]

the first one is excellent. love the look of the clouds and the way the light is reflecting on them

Luckily we can disagree and still apreciate the photo. I like it as is, the rules be damned on this one for me:D

I think the OP is talking about the first photo, and the dark ring of clouds? :confused:

I see what your talking about now, I was talking about something else.

yes, my bad

[Robert_Lay]

Had someone told me 50 years ago that I would some day be caught up in a worldwide discussion about shooting the moon, I would have said, you're nuts!

[jodelak]

i like the first one. i believe this is exempted from the "rule of thirds". fantastic capture.

[jgrussell]

Definitely #1.

[duxbar]

Wow, great shots!
