Hi Barney, I really like this one with the exception of that enhanced moon! 
Since your 'full disclosure' of course the eye is drawn
straight there. It would have been interesting to see if the change had been 
identified if you hadn't mentioned it. May I suggest
just try reducing the translucence effect of the cloud over the moon to see 
if it appeals? You could do this without completely
losing the shine through effect. Put the moon layer underneath and adjust 
the opacity of the other layer? Just burn in the selected
areas on the version you have shown?
Just my thoughts. I love the positioning of the birds against the lighter 
sky and their flight angle leading beautifully to the
cloud gap with its moon. Lovely work.

Cheers
Geoff

Moonrise in the Blackwater Wildlife Refuge. It was pretty amazing. It was 
cold, primal, windy, and exciting. Geese honking and
flying all over the place trying to settle in for the night.You could tell 
in an instant why our ancestors were so awestruck by the
power of nature.  
Of course they didn't have Photoshop. This was the second full mood after 
the Harvest moon. It really appeared that big, but, in the
interest of full disclosure, I have to admit that I pasted a picture of the 
full moon with details on its surface over the original
one.  
That's how I know they are the same size!
