beautiful shot of the moon. I don't really care for what looks like cloned areas.

I like the way you've framed the moon, but I'm undecided on how much. Maybe if the framing was a little darker, it wouldn't be competing with your main focus so much.

Personally, I like this. The softness of the foreground doesn't bother me at all. In fact, it makes me feel like a little bug on one of the leaves looking up at the moon. Nice job.

This photo is very hard for me to look at for some reason. I am certainly not a professional so I am not sure what it is about the photo, but this is just too hard on my eyes.

If this is your destination I commend you. Especially with the space program the way it is headed. Good luck!

This is amazing. The sharp focus of the moon contrasted against the soft sourrounding fore and backgrounds makes this realy look 3-dimensional. I love the colors in your moon! Great job.

You could have done a better job in framing, but ok picture still

I like your idea, but the black, fuzzy things in the foreground overwhelm the picture.

COOL. I love the vibrant blue. Nice perspective! I wish the leaves were dark green, but maybe the charcoal was your intent. Pretty moon for sure!!
