Please note that the moon was contrast enhanced but otherwise unmodified in size or position relative to the scene.

Hey Derek,

That is nice work, and I see no issue with increasing the contrast on the moon, it looks natural. I would pull down on the midtones on Factory Butte though a bit as it feels a bit hot. It's lighter tone does provide some nice contrast with the sky, but it looks to be missing some detail with the exposure as bright as it is.

Agree that it may be a touch bright in that area. Have been on a kick where I tend to use brighter highlights lately.

I like the comp here. It seems like I have always tried to cram in all of Factory Butte in to my frame, but this works nice. Not a fan of the moon, doesn't look natural to me. Overall nice photo!

I'll try to post a less contrasted version with the moon. I agree that perhaps the moon pops a bit too much...

Derek,
I like this a lot. The moon looks great , I do agree with Jim about the midtones. Bring them down and it should make this an exceptional shot. Regards Dean

Went ahead and added a second photo. Also modified the first photo so as to bring out the midtones moreso. Looking at both, I think the light in the second was stronger.
