Maybe a bit too warm? The blue sky has an unnatural color to it.

Nice drama in those clouds Dave. (Hopefully they didn’t mess up your chance at the moon!

This seems a bit dark overall to me; I think it could be opened up a bit more. I agree with Igor that the color seems a bit off. Maybe less yellow?
