Description With the sun partly below the horizon behind me, the mountain top was lit by the soft light from the west. The flat mountain top, MΓΈysalen, is a landmark in VesterΓ₯len - Norway.

It's a beautiful photograph indeed.

Very smooth colours, and I like how the days last light is casting those warm orangy tones on the mountainside. Looks peaceful!
However, if I may pick at anything here (never feels right giving critique to an already good photograph..) I'd say it could use a foreground of some sort. That would give the viewer something to focus on, instead of the rather simple three-part composition of water, mountain and sky.

Thanks Yes I do agree, the foreground could have been more interesting, but at that spot there's not much interesting to use, there often are two or three boats there, but not this time... since I was driving in my car when discovered the moon over the reddish mountain tops, time was working against me...

Great shot - if you used the 70-300 lens, did you consider zooming in and shooting a seperate picture of the moon, then pasting it on top of this original picture - thus making the moon appear much bigger? Admittedly, it'd place the pic on the borderline of photomanipulation, but it's an oft used technique, and I'd think quite acceptable as well...

But as I was saying, great shot indeed! I particularly like the reflections of the mountains in the water, a surreal effect with the sunset behind you.

Thanks, I did try several different focal lenghts, but I liked this one The moon I feel should be at it's normal size, especially since the picture feature a landmark...

Well done its a beautiful shot.
Would you consider cropping the photograph vertically? I think that could really improve your already good photo.

Thank you Well yes, I've tried to crop it after I read yor comment, and I must agree that it's not a bad idea, but not beyond an aspect ratio of 1.1 -)
