beautiful, sky looks a bit blotchy though

Very nice execution of this oft-captured subject. Love the crater at the terminator and the texture at the bottom!!!

Sometimes things like Neatimage really help a photo or make them look interesting. That's what it looks like to me: Neatimage or Noise Ninja. I'm thinking it could have been toned down some: like not at 100%. If I'm wrong, sorry. I think a little more contrast could be in order too.

The details in the Moon are excellent, but the photo would be far more powerful if the background were truly jet-black (a very easy fix using either levels or curves in any image editing program)

How did you get that kind of detail?

Nice and sharp, but I just feel like there's to much space at the top.

Too much space...ha ha...get it? The moon. Space. ....oh never mind.

Nice sky color. Must have been (as the title suggests) at dusk or early dawn... I like it! Won't do too good in a free study, people here don't like moon shots in challenges... I'll try to offset that now.
