Our photo club's (Bay Area Photo Club) photo assignment for August is "Monochrome (but not black and white)". The original sky surrounding this full moon last Saturday was obviously very dramatic but in shades of blacks and greys it left me wanting something more. The upcoming Monochrome assignment made me think about tinting as a way to add even more drama and, after trying several different options, I decided I liked this Cyan colored tinting the best. The goal of the assignment is to improve the photo with the monochrome application so I would like to know if you think I was successful in that respect or not. Cheers!

Nice moon shot, which is definitely improved by the blue tinting.
Yes, I think it did improve the photo. I like the feel of the blue and your title was appropriate.
Thanks Larry and Gwendolyn!
Cheers!
