The moon is precisely in the vertical center of the image right now and the entire left side of the image is just negative blue space. If the moon were out a ways, not too far, and (IMO, but less importantly, up a little) I think there'd be a tad more dynamic flow to this image.
It's hard to explain; it's like, right now, I can't tell from the image itself if the moon was an accident, you know?
Actually, now that I think of it, out and down a tad might work better. Why not do a couple variations in photoshop? Select the moon and some sky with the circle marquee and paste it, use the clone tool to cover the "real" moon with sky on the base layer, then use the arrows to drag the moon layer around to different places and see how it looks. You can scale it up and down too, see what possibilities might have existed with a different lens, etc.
I may be wrong about all this, I often am.
