Shot from the upstairs window after walking to the fields the past two evenings and being clouded out. Crescent of Venus can just about be seen.

Just Moon and Mercury after Venus disappeared.

The middle one is very nice, with the slightly zoomed in view. 

Your focus is darn good as well, something I always struggle with on these sort of shots.

Thanks. I did play a lot with focus using the magnified live view (canon 6D) and picked these out from about 50 shots in total. And applied a touch of sharpen in Gimp.
