Waning Gibbous Moon

Tonight the moon was really low and also had an orange tint (apparently the two go hand in hand.) It looks a little lopsided on the right side. I thought it was the way I took the shot until I looked it up and saw it is indeed, a little lumpy at this phase. (Actually, this phase is called Waning Gibbous and only 92% of the moon is visible.)

I used a 2.0x tc and the 70-200mm lens to get this.
