The moon is clearly defined; I can see her features very easily. The color is right on as well.

The overall photo looks nearly 3-dimensional to my eyes. It's wonderful!

Congratulations on getting such a superb shot.

Never been much good at "moon shots." Nonetheless this one came out okay I think. Everything: definition, color, in-focus area is straight out of the camera. For once I did no post-production. I really appreciate your comments, because if there is one thing I know it is that YOU KNOW THE MOON!

It's perfect and amazing.

You could not improve on it even if you wanted to, and besides, it doesn't need any improvements!

We're blessed to live on the high desert in central Washington State. Nice combination of trees and open spaces and good green grass for our horses. It was funny, I stepped out to shoot the sunset, but it wasn't real great. Turned back around and there was this moon.

View of tonight's moon from my mother's place with tail lights reflecting on the place across the street...

And without the tail lights reflecting...
