I still have more work to go on this. I'm not happy with the dark cresent shape in the middle - I need to bring some more tonality in to this. And the texture for this photo has been an interesting exploration. I don't like to add texture to everything, but some photos like this one really ask for it. This current texture is a combination of a scan of a cardboard shipping box and some clouds. Fun, but I have a lot of other ideas to play with. Thanks everyone. I still have more work to go on this.

I keep fighting the urge to rotate it 90 degrees counter clockwise, but I think that would be wrong(?).
