What kind of telescope do you have? I don't have to tell you, if a mere digital camera can make me tremble, this photograph can make me believe in "god". Seriously, amazing shot of our satellite and on top of that the colour contrast seals it.

simple, but nice. it is a bit grainy, and i think if the moon was higher in the frame or lower, the composition would be a bit more compelling as it would use the negative space more effectively

I think this is a great image but with the contrast so low it pulls the eye to look everywhere else besides the moon. Contrast would blacken the BG and darken the moon, I would have really loved to play with this image and make the moon red or a bluish color. Anyway Good shot 7

Loss of detail on the left side of the subject and there are a couple of black spots in the sky.

Wow, one of the best moon captures I've seen on this site - many people just set their cameras to infinity and don't quite get the focus sharp. Excellent shot! 8, would be a 9 if background were less grainy.

too much noise, and sensor dust. Would have moved it from a 5 to a seven for me...

Way too noisy.

The moon is great. It's sharp, nicely exposed, lots of contrast. The rest of the sky has some problems. There are a couple of spots of sensor dust, and it looks like you sharpened in some of the noise. You could easily redo the post processing, and have a great shot.

WOW! You've captures remarkable detail in the moon. Amazing

Shots like this are fascinating, getting fine detail of moon's surface, craters and all! What if you had a darker sky/background if possible? or changing composition to get only part of an enlarged-zoomed-in moon (the lower left-half portion w/ craters), and cropping some background. Just a thought.

Nice lighting on the moon and good cropping - but I see sensor dust and a little too much noise in the sky. A little touch up in post processing really would have helped this out.
