As is also true for mine...the selection edge is a bit jaggedy. You might try using a brush at low opacity to make it softer. I'm also trying to figure out re the light and shadows and the moon would throw some of both. On the other had, this is gorgeous. I'm just being picky

This looks awesome. Did you use the layer mask or did auto blend work for you?

@sarraphoto Thank you Sarra I used the layer mask, but had a little trouble painting the edges of the selection.
Besides that I am happy with my first try!

@jgpittenger I'm glad to read your critique and appreciate what you are doing here, Kathy. I am limited in composites as I still haven't sorted out layers in PS, but like what you've done here re composition. It's a little heavy in the silhouettes on the right, but I'm not sure that cropping would help as it would put the moon to much in the center. Great work and a lot of effort clearly went into this!

This is a great result Kathy. I don't fell I know enough to offer advice but am inferesred to learn form others comments. Perhaps I will have to be brave and try this!

what a lovely effect :) I'm not qualified to say more than I love it :) fav

Very striking

Great effort.

Excellent job for a first effort at a composite image! My first impression of the image was that you had an amazing POV when you took the shot. Gorgeous moon shot, by the way.

Excellent shot
November 21st, 2016  
Great photo. I tried composites in the past but found it difficult. I may try again.
November 21st, 2016  
very nice shot

Good work! Other than the light from the moon not falling on anything below it, I think most people would not notice it's two pictures merged together.
