About the Image(s)
This photo is actually a stack of 9 auto bracketed photos. This was taken days before the solar eclipse last year with the goal of showing the trees and detail in the moon. The colors and clouds created a nice spring feel I was hoping to capture. Not sure I got the effect I was hoping for and looking for ideas.

Brian, the stacking gave you the details and depth of field you wanted. The moon is small, IMHO. I've had this issue too, where the moon in one's eye is bigger than that captured. One solution is to take a second photo of just the moon with a telephoto then paste in. Posted: 01/16/2025 18:58:35
Brian:
This is a nicely balanced work; everything seems to be nicely in their proper placement. Does your camera contain the stacking function, or did you dial in each shot? I thought the moon was a bit small and the trees lacking some color.
