From the Bosque Del Apache on News Years Day. As you may recall there was a "Blue Moon" on the 31st that set on January 1st. This is the moon setting in the west a few minutes before the sun rise.
This image is actually a composite of 9 images. The first 8 are just an HDR of the scene captured with my 5D using a 28-135 at 38mm. The Moon is the 9th image captured with my 50D using a 500mm lens.
The moon was really in the scene in the location I've placed it in this image. Capturing the images at 38mm, the moon looked much smaller than in real life, hence my desire to place the bigger moon into the image. I resized it down to match my memory of what the scene really looked like. The birds hunkered down in the image are Snow Geese and Sandhill Cranes
