*Hello from Sid and the Critique Club*

A striking image that meets the challenge

Well done in capturing this unique moment that would not be without its difficulties. Any critique I am able to offer mainly concerns the composition and processing as opposed to technique which seems to have enabled you to capture it well and in any case the likelihood of being able to repeat this again are slim in the extreme I would imagine.

The biggest thing about the composition is the foreground, because it is a sillhouette without detail just shape it is not adding anything to the overall image, Its a shame you couldn't have a more distinctive shape to replace it with I think it would have put the image on another level. The other improvement to composition would be to move the sun further to the left to give more room for the moon I just feel it is too central. And finally, the processing there appears to be some evidence of banding perhaps the jpeg compression was too much?

All in all a momentous event well captured, thanks for submitting, Sid

Very nicely photographed. I could see this doing pretty well as stock.
