Ghost Moon

Very nice, just because of the ghost image. That's a reflection inside the lens, so it's at a much lower exposure level. Some lenses do that if pointed into a light source that is very bright relative to the background.
A UV filter can cause some ghosting with digital cameras by bouncing the light back and forth between the flat surfaces of the UV filter and the filter over the sensor. Most of the newer lenses and filters have coatings to help prevent this effect. I have a few older lenses that do this, esp when shooting at night and wide apertures.
In any case it worked for this shot to make it more interesting.

there'd be a perfectly logical/understandable explanation .. i dont know what it'd be .. but what a fantastic thing .. two for the price of one .. one so bright and out there and the other pale and ghostly .. love the deep purple tones ... :)

I looked at this for a long time wondering why it makes me feel uneasy & then I noticed the distant horizon is tilted. Interesting choice.

Very nice for handheld! I can never get decent images of the moon. There's nice contrast. I agree it's a little soft, but not bad. The tone is a little sepia looking which is unexpected as well.
