Very nice, I like that human touch on the metal challenge. I'm not sure what would have been needed for me to give it a top score, I can't relly quatify it, but it does not give me that wow factor (sorry!).

What is above the clouds? The moon? Is that the fantasy? I don't get it. What am I missing?

Rising Moon

Comment by Artifacts:
From a technical standpoint this image is one of your best. What is great about it is that the moon is properly exposed with respect to the rest of the image and the fine detail shows up nicely.

Though you don't like them, the trees add considerable interest to the composition. The branch in the upper right isn't really a distraction so much as it makes the image seem unbalanced without a similar branch on the upper right side. It is debatable whether or not the tiny branches should touch the moon or not. Usually it is a little more eye appealing if they do not.

The sky color is a dull blue resulting from use of curves to bring out that great lunar detail. You could apply color painting on a 50% greyscale layer to bring out a deeper, darker blue that would make the moon stand out spectacularly and look great. It would also help mask the slight haloing around the branch detail. The sky is noisy and needs noise reduction applied.

Nice shot. I would have liked a bit less wash on the right, but it certainly evokes a feeling.

The reflection of the person in the glasses distracts from a good photo, well done
