Nice capture. I considered a shot over Big Lake, but never got out to shoot it. You did us Alaskans proud

Absolutely amazing. How did you get the moon so big relative to everything else? This is cool.

Your capture is somewhat reminiscent of the famous "EarthRise" photo taken from the Apollo 8 Spacecraft...very nice !

Not quite blue :) but a good capture nonetheless.
Nice framing, I would just crop the tree on the right.

Wonderful!

Neat. Like a ball sitting on the snow.

Orange and blue work well together. Foreground contrast helps a lot. I'll be interested in seeing just how big a lens it took to get this.

This is a very nice photo and one of my top scoring images. Primarily based on the size and placement of the moon. If the comp on this was a little stronger (less centered) it would score a little higher for me.

I might have cropped this different but it`s a beauty.9

Beautiful, austere.

Like the colour of the moon... Is the horizon skew?
