I noticed this too when I did my shot "stargazers", the moon was even slimmer. The two versions you posted have very short shutter speeds and show the definition of the moon and nothing else as it is all dark. For mark's shot, if the moon would have been full it would have been way to bright and you would have seen very few stars and a big white blob for a moon. The 14% visibity allows for the moon to not be too bright but fills itself in with the long exposure. It also helps that the moon is low on the horizon and isn't as bright(like a sunset) and doesn't interfere with the light of the stars. Thats what I think, but I have been wrong before :)

My cousin had a blow up croc when we were kids, he was good at water wrestling in the pool, but he could do nothing to stop me from an air sneak attack and surf on his back :)

Great job on the exposure, the cat seems to be stuck in a perpetual daydream.

I like the crane way up at the top. it helps you feel like the building is coming down right on top of you.
