Saw this framing while grilling dinner and liked it. Ran inside for the camera and tripod. Wound up needing another lens and flash as capturing it in one shot wasn’t going well. So, Nikon 200-500 @ 500 for the moon, Nikon 24-70S and SB5000 for the palm and assemble in Photoshop. Always fun to put something together on the spur of the moment.

That's a WOW shot when looked at full screen on the 32"

Really very nice and unusual moon placing!

Good eye on your part and it turned out very nicely.

great comp.

Go on, confess - that's a composite (joking by the way). Works well, though I'd tone down the moon a tweak.

Whatever gave you that idea
Believe it or not, the moon was brighter than this the night I took the photos.

I believe it. When I've tried to incorporate it in shots it just blows everything out. When you think about it, it's just a giant reflector like you use to bounce flash.
