    B&W rocks and moon

    I tried a different angle approach the clouds weren't as thick as I would have hope for for shadows.

    Re: B&W rocks and moon

    There is just not a whole lot here to make the image stand out.

    The moon is too small in the frame to be important, the image is pretty much split in half between the rock face and the sky and the tonal range is limited.

    You might think about composing the same thing taking the rule of thirds into mind and get either more sky or more rockface AND shooting at a different time of day or in color.
    No, I DON'T need that.

    Re: B&W rocks and moon

    Picture of things with the moon in are normally enlarged moons from another shot.

    Try squaring off the pivture by cropping from the right could possibly improve it.

    I like the textures in the rock but it might need a slight boost in contrast to make the texture stand out more.

    Just my thoughts
