Greetings from the Critique Club!

Beautiful image of the moon. I would agree that there is some apparent color noise on the moon. I would suggest desaturation to get rid of it - the image is almost black and white anyway.
The composition works - its at rule of thirds which many people prefer. The moon itself is a little soft but I would think noise and resizing did most of that.
I think the main reason this did not score well in the challenge is that it 'kind of' fit the challenge but it didn't do it well enough for the voters.

Please feel free to PM with any questions or comments!

I just love your moon shots! I was away on vacation for a couple of weeks so have missed many challenges. It's been fun getting caught up on great entries like this :)

Amazing photograph. I can't believe how good it is. How did you get such an amazing closeup of the moon. I love photographing in the night but have never managed to get a good picture.

Nice moon shot and I like how it is off-centred compared to others in this challenge.

I would rather see the sky than a solid black background

Ohhh... the thumbnail looked so promising. What I mean is that the image quality is really lacking here, mainly the moon is too noisy (maybe because of an extreme crop?) Nice idea though and fitting for the challenge, 6 from me.

It looks like theres a little bit of color-noise in here. I think you could greatly improve this shot by desaturating it all the way to get rid of the off-color pixels, and boosting the contrast to darken the backgroun and make the moon stand out.
