 Details added post challenge:

Yeah, didn't do very well, and the commenters are right, it is probably a little overprocessed, and yeah, I probably should learn how to do HDR. But it's a shot I like and I was happy with the appearance and of course, loved the process that went into creating it. See my other gallery shots here for more in this series.

251st??? You were robbed in a big way! I thought this was easily top 10. There is so much here to hold the viewers interest, very very surprised that this didn't do much better.

Overprocessed greatly, I fear. The composition is really good, though.

I like the composition but the moon seems to be over-sharpened...

MAD TOWN! Born and raised, and went to UW myself! THis is nice, and it helps me reminisce, but something about the color seems a bit off... maybe the moon is too big.. good luck!
