I also love sunrises and sunsets. Specially the sunrise when there are still bright stars like Venus or Mercury.
There are some good things in this picture and there are some things that could easily been done better without much trouble.
1. Your picture is only 540x329 in size. You should use the maximum on at least one side of it. In this case it would have been 640x390.
2. The picture is only 23680 Bytes. Believe me I know the trouble saving pictures in Windows (don't have PS now) and loosing information. Maybe your picture was sharper before saving. It is best to use all the 150KB when you can.
3. Using rule of thirds, The moon and the star, wich are the main topic in the picture should be a little bit more to the left. The hight of the moon and star are fine.
4. Lovely colours but I would like to either see a bit more of the mountains (brighter) or make them as dark as the trees.
5. Focus, It is hard to see if the focus is bad or if it is because of the jpeg compression. I know it can be hard to focus near things, like a tree, trying to focus the moon at the same time. Doing this you have to have the trees in a distance, as much as you can. If you want to have full focus on the moon and see its landscapes you have to have about 200 in shutter speed but then everything else turns black in the night.

Nice profile view.
You could maybe have used a bit of NeatImage to get rid of the grain.
But this is overall a lovely shot.

Hike as you like
But the stairs are for loosers

Nice shot, would be a bit better though if there was more light on the leftmost person. Also a step backward would have placed the first and last persons better.

I am colourblind (red/green) but still I can see that this is red and green. Arent they complimentary colours?
