Thanks for all comments. Just to clarify...
All images had the moon in. Nothing was contrived. But, almost all shots were taken at 14mm or so, so the moon came out so tiny, it was "useless" as a compositional element. So, I shot it at 50mm and replaced the small Moon with the larger one to recreate what I saw with my eyes. If I'm not mistaken human eyes see at about 43mm or 50mm when compared to a lens' focal length. The only difference is human see panoramically (unless you're missing one eye) so the angle of view is more like 22 or 25mm. Anyway, the Moon was there, and the last images shows it at its more or less original size except the starburst (or moon burst) effect and lots of light making it appear larger than it actually was...
