Comment by ubique:
I guess it's a real eclipse, which makes it an unusual subject, but not really a very interesting photograph. I know my "ho-hum" reaction does not do justice to the significance of the thing, but have you seen the photograph of Hillary standing atop Everest? A very significant moment, yet it still looks like nothing more than snap of a skinny guy in goggles on a snowy hill. Ironic, isn't it ... you've taken a good photograph of the ultimate manifestation of darkness, and I'm unmoved. Sorry! 5 (On the "bright" side, 5 is better than my own darkness image is doing!)

This must have been difficult to get a clear shot. You did a great job at it!

In it's simplicity, I actually find this photo interesting and stimulating. I'm not a big stickler for having to 'obey' the rule of thirds, but I'm wondering if maybe this would be even a stronger presentation if the subject were placed at the upper right thirds intersection? Perhaps not. I do like the image.

Nice image, but it lacks character. It looks too much like a simple paintshop drawing.

I like the photograph. One suggestion for an extra impact would be to take this with a building or a tree in front.

Base score 5
Good lighting/good composition/good processing +1
Total score 6

I'm not sure I like that centering of the focus object. Otherwise a great shot

Nice. I'm guessing this is staged, as the current phase of the moon is gibbous... But it certainly meets the challenge! 5
