Chased storms around for a while this morning. The cool thing about the weather was that it was so clear except for the thunderstorms in the area. Hope you like this shot. C and C welcome.

I really like it. If I had to be critical, I'd suggest cropping the top third or so, the totally black section. I see the stars up there, but they don't add much to the composition. I like the contrast in colours between the orange of the moon and the white/pink cast of the storm clouds. Definitely one for the portfolio.

Thanks. I guess I could go to a 16x9 crop. The obvious problem is that the image divides attention to the two sides. I tried to keep the moon as far away from the edge, while still keeping the reflections in there. I'll play around with the cropping later today.

Wow, that is awesome. I think that might be one of my favorite pictures I have seen here.

Really a fantastic picture; was this a stitched pano?

I agree. It makes the horizon pretty central which i wouldn't normally do, but to be honest it looks great!

Thanks for the replies. It wasn't stitched in any way, and has very little processing.
