This is purposely overprocessed just for the effect. I'd like some folks to tell me which they like best before I print it.

thanks

I like the un-cropped one on the left. I find it doesnt make the moon and the stump compete so much. As soon as I look at the cropped one, my eyes bounce between the moon and stump..just my 2c though.

Definitely the cropped. Nice shot.

If you adjust your crop just a bit you hit the rule of thirds quite nicely.

I like the uncropped but I'm not sure why. Maybe because of the extra space above the tree trunk. Nice shot.

Cropped seems a better composition. How big are you going with this?

Cropped. Keeping with the rule of thirds it's a better composition.
