    Well, I don't know a whole lot about photography, but it seems there isn't much contrast between the branches and the sky, perhaps if you had taken the picture a little earlier in the day? Since you asked,what did you think might be wrong with it?

    I like this. Not sure that I have any real problems with it. The moon looks perfectly exposed and crisp. A keeper in my book. Personal taste though may vary. Just one mans opinion.

    Photography is more than just taking a picture and freezing the action, or leaving the shutter open. It is more than orchestrating the image with the stroke of a brush. Its the realization and explanation that reality is an isolated experience in which only a specific individual can comprehend during any given time period. - Your Truly!

    I like it too. I was actually thinking of this exact shot over the last couple of days with the full moon, but there aren't any suitable trees close, and I'm too lazy to go looking.

    Good work. Taking a good picture of the moon is harder than one might think.

    Nice work, I didnt even know at first glance it was photoshopped. I would try maybe increasing the blacks a few points to darken the branches and maybe playing with the luminance of the blues in the sky to make the sky a touch lighter.

    Nice work on the PS. I did not think it was two images !!!! Others made some good recommendation on other ways to improve via PS>

    My mistake has been seeking new landscapes. I should have been seeking new light.

    Ok I managed to lighten it a bit, I also brightened the moon a bit more. Look better?

    I like the idea and the composition, but I agree with the kurt; the exposure needs a little work. I'd like to see the background about 1/2 stop brighter and the moon 2/3 - 1 stop brighter.
