The first one is interesting! I'm always happy to get a bit of earthshine, as I did in the second one.

of those images would look as greeting cards. I bought one today that wasn't anywhere near that good! I could see a whole line of your farmers' markets, and moon images at my favourite gallery!

I like the way the entire outline of the moon is discernible, even though just a sliver of it is fully illuminated.

Getting the entire outline to show was something I was aiming for, and I had to work to get the exposure right! When the moon is this slender, everything is a challenge!
