Eric,

I like this composition but it is dark on my monitor. I find myself either wanting to see more detail in the foreground rocks and Saguaro or seeing them as a pure silhouette.

Nice comp and I like the placement of the moon. The foreground rocks do look a bit dark and lightening them a bit would bring out some texture.

I still can't beleive that the Governor was able to just rename that mountain so easily. For those not familiar, it used to be called Squaw Peak but was renamed for the Native American woman soldier that was the first female combat casualty in the Iraq War who was from Arizona.

I like this shot a lot, nicely done. I beleive there is detail in the dark side of the rocks that could be extracted still.

Eric, The composition here is terrific. The timing and placement of the moon are perfect. I like it as is, but would like it even more with greater detail in the foreground.
