great shot - love those clouds! Is that whatthey call earthshine on the moon? I'm never quite sure if I completely understand what it is!

I think its also known as "Planetshine" as well. Its where the dark part of an object is illuminated by reflected Sunlight from Earth in this case, rather than direct Sunlight from the Sun. Hence Earthshine :icon_biggrin:
