Sunset, Birds and the Moon

[jodelak]

Shot this image before going home. I liked how the moon looked like because the sun is setting giving it an orangy look. C&C welcome, specially if these can be recomposed better. Thanks.

That's lovely. I had a more suburban view of it rising this morning, but I had to go to work... no time for a photo :(

[Cyclop]

Absolutely stunning shot.

Composition is very good.

no time for photo here to : (

Very nice, part of me thinks PP out that branch on RH side might improve it, but it's sweet as is.

Thank you very much for the kind words, it is very encouraging. I keep seeing this advise from the pros here to keep on shooting, practice, practice practice. I am starting to understand the camera setup, what should it be depending on the lighting, scenery etc. I am not saying I'm getting better, but for a newbie like me, sometimes we get a decent image capture even when practicing ;)
Thanks!!!

IMHO, that is certainly a wall hanger of a shot, WOW.

[DanThoman]

Ditto on what Cyclop said. WOW.

[FlyingPhotog]

Lovely composition. Looks like maybe some sharpening halos around the edges (but that could compression artifacts too I suppose...)

Cyclop, Dan, FP, thanks so much for the kind words. :)
