I have not reposted the color version url... so that the bw image can  
be judged alone, on its own terms...


I personally prefer the bw image but that is not really the point nor  
the question...


I do think that if the moon were too prominent and easy to find,  
well, it would be too easy, and also a cliche...

sometimes really looking at something and finding something not  
expected, makes the looking more valuable...  it is after all called  
looking...

like good poetry...


I sincerely appreciate all of the looking, and your very thoughtful  
input.

thanks especially to Bob and Doug, two photographers whose work I  
particularly admire...
