like the moon shape, very grainy though.

Great composition, but in very serious need for noise removal. Given the uniform blue sky, you could fairly easily select just the sky and then blur the heck out of it, leaving you with no noise. The compression artifacts don't help either (you realize your file is only 50KB, so you've compressed three times more than you need to?).

There is not enough to this shot IMHO to rate it very highly. I like the concept though.

I was always told tha when shooting the moon use a telephoto lens. This allows the moon to become large enough in the frame to be useful.

This image doesn't give me any real detail in the moon and the big black silhouette really doesn't contribute much either.

Simple and beautiful composition here. For my tastes, the sky noise should be less, and the image sharper if possible - but again, simple, beautiful composition. Well done and best of luck in the challenge!
