Critique Club Review:

Nice picture. Looks almost like something out of a science fiction movie.

Focus is good. Horizon is nice and level. The border is a little distracting, but not bad. The ISO is nice and low (100) but still the sky areas look a tiny bit grainy.

I think I would have to agree with on of the other comments. A tighter crop on the top would even more emphasize the moon.

I'm not sure why the moon is distorted. Looks like heat waves rising from the ground, but I wouldn't think that would be problem this time of year. Especially in the evening. However, had the moon been sharper, it would have helped your score. Though, I do like it this way too, because it could almost pass for a close planet out of some science fiction movie.

Very nice photo.

Now this is very special! Natural light effects.
IMO cropping a bit from the top makes it better.

I love that rough distorted moon. A reflection? This looks like the landscape of a dream. 8

there's a broken moon for you. I like how the lights on the ground fade off over towards the moon.

magical. the cloud and distorted moon gives me a feel of outer space
and the lights just a touch of reality.

Superb. Many people will not be able to appreciate how challenging a shot like this is. I'll be anxious to see the details of the shot after voting is over.
