Richard, I saw this as one of the best in this challenge. Very good indeed. Was just looking over the previous entries. The moon looks almost translucent.
I have to commend you for the imagination and photographic skill you incorporated into your entry...it is not just another object cut in half by the camera like most of the others. In my estimation, it is worth a 10.
