:) Underexposed the moon quite a bit to get the brightness out. I think it was a 1/50 exposure. (The 300mm zoom lens didn't hurt either. :) The hawk was flying aroud during a completely overcast day, so the background was the pure white of the clouds. It looks like I spent a lot of time, but a simple crop and "multiply" to the layer to get ther white out. I'm looking forward to him coming back on a nicer day, but I couldn't have asked for a better pose. Directly overhead about 25 feet. Kept circleing letting me take photos over and over. Beautiful bird. Rich
