Moonrise at Zabriskie Point

Let's get some more colour up in this gallery ;)

Okay, the moon is hard to see, it is a tiny white blob on the horizon. But the landscape around Zabriskie is itself somewhat lunar.

I feel I should probably process this is some way so that the thin clouds stand out a bit more strongly against the sky but I'm not sure how to do that. Suggestions welcome and appreciated, as always.

Beautiful, almost abstract minimalist landscape. Most of the time less is more.

That's weird, I had the impression that this was more of a telephoto perspective and I couldn't find the expected "big" moon... amusing trick: the size of those features is pretty hard to figure out.
 
Thanks for the comments!

Walter, I had all kinds of fun with the lack of scale cues out there, without shrubs or obvious rocks there are many things one can do. I have to thank Diwan Bhathal for coaxing me out of the car at Zabriskie.
