This is a well composed image.There are several elements that work nicely together and thus gives the viewer time to explore the image- no doubt the setting moon is a big plus.
I was in Tucson several years ago when a squall moved through the desert leaving several inches of snow. Within hours the snow evaporated and all was back to normal. Being from the east coast,this was an interesting experience.

Love this! You have it all!  As if the snow on the mountains wasn't enough you also captured the moon. Reminds me of the photos I saw from the 1960s.  :D

As it was said before, everything came together in the image that created this amazing landscape.

Nicely done EJ, like the choice of focal length which sets the size of the lunar disk, DOF is well placed which allows you to concentrate on the composition and nice warm soft light.
