I like the moon one. I would look great printed big, I think. It caught my attention, because I'm reading some stuff on colour theory -to see if I can improve my colour photography- and the yellow-orange of the moon contrasts well with the violet colour of the sky -opposites in the colour wheel: http://www.tigercolor.com/color-lab/color-theory/color-harmonies.htm
and the amount of colour on the yellow moon and the sky is somewhat balanced as you have a lot of violet in the sky vs small amount in the moon (Yellow = 9 / Orange = 8 vs Violet = 3) http://www.framedreality.com/color-in-photography-color-theory and that explains why my eyes go first to the moon, then down to the crops in the bottom, and finish on the barn. It also has a nice calming mood to it. Anyways, what I meant to say is that I like it.
