Doesn't look like any total lunar eclipse I've ever seen. And, I've seen a few and photographed several. How about you? Voters were deceived.

I was sure that not everyone would like my attempt. I'm honest and I wanted to say what the truth was. If Langdon had chosen a more generic challenge title I wouldn't need to turn the moon red. The challenge was really US-centric IMO. In any case if someone is upset with my image I really apologize.
