Moonrise-Sunset

Here's another shot from Sunday night at Siesta Beach. The moon rose just before sunset, and it was almost full. Had I known this shot stood even a remote chance of turning out, I would have gotten the tripod out and started bracketing my shots. As it turned out, this was the only shot I tried with this composition, and it seems to have come out pretty well. It's a little bit over exposed, at least as far as the moon goes, but overall it works pretty well. Yes, the clouds were pretty much the color you see them here, and they were on the opposite end of the sky from where the sun had just set. Every once in a while, a great picture just sort of presents itself out of the blue, or in this case, out of the black.
