late autumn moonrise

Constructive critique welcome, especially concerning the editing. The sun was gone for some minutes, but there were clouds that reflected some light into the valley. I kept it a little darker which looks really nice on the calibrated monitor (especially with a darker background color) but a little off on my laptop.

I took another one just of the moon and the rock. Unconventional but the more I look at it the more I like it:

And a B&W from half an hour earlier:

Beautiful landscape. Nice color perspective: warm foreground colors pair well with cold middle- & background colors. Subtle blue sky tones and clouds look great. In BW shot these are lost. I would give it a try in colors too.

Where did you take these shots?

Beautiful! Particularly liked the BnW. Do you think that we can remove the halo around the moon which is more obvious in 2nd photo?
