Greetings from the Critique Club

Initial thoughts/My opinion
I do see the artistical approach and the message in combination with the text, but the message could have been presented better. Like the glowing, nicely coloured sky surrounding the "moon"

Content/Composition
I'm not completely sure what I see: is it the moon on the left side and some street light on the right? I do see some thin, moon lit clouds (best part to me) and also something like a horizon. And I do see the lines connecting the bright spots on the right side. They are nice too.
The shaking of the camera makes the image of course interesting, but if everything is vague and fuzzy, it's not that easy to understand, even with the text below it.
Speaking of text, I have to say that I neither like the font or colour of it very much. The colour should somehow match with the rest of the image.

Camera work -technically
Not much to say about it: exposure seems fine for this type of image and it seems to be focused also well, according to the light-lines a right.

Digital Processing - Technical
Seems also OK to me

Fits the challenge
Yes, it does, only the message didn't get to me very well.

Final remark
What I do appreciate very much with your submission is that you tried to go beyond the usual concepts and compositions shown here on DPC.
Doing so is always a courageous step that I honour very much, because it is a very important ingredient to DPC.

Good luck for you further submissions

Not quite sure how you tried to achieve the effect of moonS and starS but it didn't quite work for me personally. It's fuzzy, blurry and while the cloud effect on the left is well done the rest leaves me wanting. Also the font used just doesn't quite work and the all caps on the first word and none of the rest also gives it a sense of imbalance to me. A 4

Can't tell what they are, confusion.

Great idea and I like the message of this photo. I am not sure about the moved-in effect, a beautiful moon photo would be sooo beautiful here! :-) Even a half moon, too, but well in focus.

Could change the text in "if you want to shoot for the moon & the stars.... use a tripod" LOL

Interesting. I understand your idea, but if you've actually shown some real stars or a real moon, the message would have been better. Also the choice of colour of the text is not as pleasing as if it were more finetuned with the imaga itself.
