This is a lovely shot - so clear. One thing I would do though is reduce the halos of colour. I often do the following (in PhotoShop) to eliminate this without converting to mono:
Convert image to Lab colour [under 'Mode']
Got to Channels and click on the 'a' channel - apply a guassian blur to almost obliterate the definition
Do the smae with channel 'b'
Apply a light Sharpen or Unshapr Mask to the 'Lighten' channel
Convert back to RGB
- voila!
Cheers

| Greetings from the Critique Club: This image certainly meets the challenge as closely as one could - the shape is the focal point of the image. That being said, there are a couple of issues which stand out for me. The fringing around the edge and the slight blur. I believe the blur is due to the magnification and certainly there is clarity and great detail around the craters and at the edge of darkness. The fringing might have been addressed (since the editing rules have been relaxed) by desaturating. One further question for me is the tightness of the crop - I am sure you put a lot of thought into this crop but I wonder what it would have been like to give the moon a little more space in which to hang. Thanks for the image, it is a wonderful moon shot and as such deserves to be recognized. |

| Great Detail on your mon shot-- edges are chromatic, but good close shot |

| Nice capture with good detail. If you had desaturated, you may have lost the colour fringing. The moon is virtually colourless as far as i`m aware. Good luck. 9 |

| Nice moon. I kinda wish you hadn't cropped the implied dark side out. The tonal range is very nice here--especiallywhere the shadow begins. |

I love the moon and you've done well here. I would have desaturated the blue/cyan in your image though as the halo around it is distracting. You could have made it mono too.
Great to see it so close up. |

| Great telescopic shot. What is the blue fringing along the lighted side of the moon? |

| Little blurry, but considering the magnification that is not at all surprising. Excellent shot. Am looking forward to hopefully seeing what lens you used. |

| the blue fringing is hurting this image. the photoshop rules are lifted. perhaps you could have fixed this with the clone or some simple painting? i like the size of the moon and the composition. great detail with the craters! |
