Then we should notice how you put the reflection of the huge moon on the water, compliment a great photo of Monument Valley, and enjoy your wildlife photo.

Stari Most Bridge in Mostar, Bosnia Herzegovina

Built in the 16th century by Suleiman the Magnificent it stood for over 400 years until the Yugoslavia war destroyed it. It was rebuilt with many of the same stones that were pulled from the river after it was destroyed. 

It connects two parts of the city of Mostar and is a real pleasure to visit. The last time I visited was 1990 and at that time purchased a Bosnian rug (handmade) and drank kafa (Bosnian coffee) at a local cafe which is a very important part of the day and a tradition that takes time. 

In all my travels Yugoslavia was one of the most exciting, beautiful, and historical places that I've ever been to.

An interesting coincidence is that I just finished watching Windtalkers, and at the end of the movie Adam Beach is in Monument Valley, doing a ceremony to pay homage to Nicholas Cage, who had been in charge of him, while Beach's wife and son watched and the scenery was almost exactly like your first photo of the Valley above.

I think the formations are called "The Mittens" and for obvious reasons, they are photographed extensively. I've got more.

That's an excellent image combination. They really go nice together. For some reason my browser doesn't display the correct aspect ratio on this page, but when I open it in a new tab it's correct and totally awesome.

You're making me want to play around with surreal editing again.

All from today – sunrise in the east, morning sun hitting the western woods, western sky at dusk, and a flicker foraging in winter grass.

It's not intended to be any specific celestial body; it was added for additional light and color.

It's a really nice sky shot, but you could crop off about 75% of the bottom half of the photo, unless there were a way to lighten up the bottom half without washing out the sky colours, provided the bottom half has any decent features.
