The Last Quarter
Here’s my confession: I didn’t even SEE the moon when I made the picture. I didn’t notice it until I was in Lightroom, looking for and erasing a few dust spots. And even then, I thought it was just a giant hunk of dust stuck on the sensor.
It’s a shame that I am not nearly as observant as I believe myself to be.

Not a big deal. We all sometimes get tunnel vision when we get excited about a subject. The important thing is that you didn’t remove it. How are parishioners to be “blinded by the light” with those covered up windows?

I heard a photographer at a show one time explaining how he’d moved the moon in post-processing. MOVED THE DAMN MOON. Why? Why would you do that??

Well, you know how some photographers can be. Cloning a bit of this and moving a bit of that. Why accept nature for what it is when you can shape it to your own wishes?

I know! I was startled that he did it (and it didn’t even make any difference in the composition as far as I could tell), and I was also startled that he admitted it!.
