 Shot into the night, the cross is actually on top of a church. To bad I could not get the moon more behind the cross.

Peter, a great image, I think this should have scored much higher.
For me the intersection of cross and moon is a positive rather than a negative. It adds to the originality of this picture.

moon alone would have been better - great detail

I think the two objects are competing for attention. I think I would have liked this better with just the moon or just the cross. Technically, a very nice photo.

The subject is tucked into the corner, which makes the image look like it's waiting for something to fill the rest of the page. Perhaps it it was located somewhere closer to the center...

Just the moon would have been a smash with the cross it is a bit crowded or at least the eye starts wondering back and forth between those two.

Wow. This works well - I like the framing, and the color is amazing.

Nice shot. The clarity of the moon and the color is excellent.

Interesting photo. I really wish that the cross had the bottom part on it also. This is the sort of picture that I expect to have some message to it though I am not clever enough to figure out what it is. I think it fits the challenge very well and I wouldn’t change anything about it.

This is a very clear image. It's impossible to tell what kind of structure is holding up the neon lights...might be kinda nice to see the outline of a building or something. Good shot of the moon though.

A slight bit of a turn of the camera, so that the cross and moon did not overlap would have greatly benefited the image.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

An image with good twist of good clean humor. I wonder about the possibilty of maintaining a neutral color on the moon. The image is otherwise very impressive. Bumping up.

Striking colors. The background is overly simple, however. Leaving some stars in would have helped, if possible.

Oh, where was this taken? I may've been here before, or maybe they make more than one red flourescent cross in the world. Beautiful moon, but the subjects are too close togther i think, overlapping. Good though, 6

I don't get it? How is the cross floating around up in the sky next to the moon? I doesn't really work for me.

"Create an image where your subject is the strong point of the image,"...IMO u have two very strong subjects..both of the subjects could've stood alone and would've made an exceptional photo. 5
