I forgot to post this shot I took on 7/15/18 of a crescent moon and Venus. It was an amazing sight to see in the evening sky. I took this shot from my front yard while facing west up into the sky. I was lucky to get this shot because the moon and Venus were in between the tall trees in my neighborhood. "In the western sky on the evening of Sunday, July 15, the young waxing crescent moon will take up a position between Venus and Regulus, the brightest star in Leo. The moon will sit 1.5 degrees west (to the right) of Venus and 4.5 degrees east (to the upper left) of the naked-eye star. As soon as you spot the moon in the bright early evening sky, try and find Venus and Regulus on either side of it using binoculars (orange circle), but take care to avoid the sun"!
I got one too but thought it was Mercury - they said to the left of the moon but it was a 'gibbous' moon.. more investigation! It was later than your photo
