Mooonrise is probably the most recognizable Ansel Adams photo; it was certainly the most famous during his lifetime. What I think is notable about it is that while it's technically a "landscape" photo (in this case of the American West), it's dominated by the dark sky. The stark landscape serves in a supporting role, as a foil to the clouds and the moon.
