Normally, images that feature a blown out moon are not very appealing to me. Your shot, on the other hand, is something entirely different. In your image, the moon takes on a whole new life, it doesn't look remind me of the moon at all, but rather a spaceship or SOMETHING very mysterious. This whole image has an "other worldlieness" to it, from the ground (which appears to be sand?) to the sky, of which you've captured the stars quite nicely.
I'm assuming you used a larger aperture with a shorter shutter speed (no star trails and barely a hint of the star effect from the moon), which was a great choice in this case. I like how the person's hair is backlit by the moon, that really adds to the amount of detail in the image and gives it a bit more depth.
Overall I thought this was one of the better images in the contest. Good work!
