NICE!!! Wow, what a gorgeous sunset to have the moon peek out from so perfectly! Well done... Got any closer-up compositions? I like the attempt at a reflection, but the rest of the foreground is just a little too busy for me mainly due to the dead foliage I guess...

You got a nice image with some lovely conditions Jim. The foreground is a little busy for me so I would have been tempted to get closer to the water (but maybe that's a no-no), or maybe crop off 1/5 from the bottom. I think you can also use some correction on the wide-angle distortion from the looks of the reflection.
Hey Matt and Tuan,
Glad you both liked the shot, it was really cool and very cold to be there!
As for getting closer with the reflection, there is no way I could do that. Even as far back as I was and standing in about 6 to 8 inches of snow, my feet sunk into the wet mud below the snow about an inch or two. As I moved to the left to try and see about a reflection from that side, it was worse, I was sinking in about 3 or 4 inches. So I went back to this area, my original composition and stayed there. I definitely thought about walking forward more, but it looked even more wet. Not only did I not want to sink deeper into the mud, but more importantly, I didn't want to mess up that composition with a bunch of foot prints. Because once I did that, there would be no going backwards to shoot wide again. And also it would be ruined for anyone else who might try to shoot it in the coming days. So yeah, that's the best I could do with the reflection. Maybe I am just more in love with it, but it doesn't feel busy for me, I actually like the flow of the snow/water and how it mimicks the sky a bit.
