We had a great sunset but by the time I got ready it was gone.
But I noticed we had a half moon. So I took a few shots.
The ones I am posting is the same shot just copied so I could do this photoshop play with it.
The first shot is honestly straight out of the camera just cropped.
The next has been worked in photoshop and it brings out more detail.
But for me I think even without the extra detail both are quite okay.
But I really leave this up to all of you to say what is not good or bad.

I am willing to learn and will listen to what other have to say.
But if I don't like it, never take offense to it.
It is just something that I may not like.

Half moon is twice the beauty.

Well done.
Because you asked for critique, and without getting to tech detail of where you did good, I may farther add:
-Your moon is washed out on bright side with absolutely no crater detail. Use Manual exposure and Moon exposure calculator, then bracket at the said level.

Here is a LINK to one of the Moon Calculators (external link)

-Your second image has noticeable "Post-effect". Post processing should be subtle to the extend no can make it out. Unfortunately here it is over cooked by detraining effect of over-sharpening with not much benefit to salvage the brightness overexposure.
-Your moon color in particular is as good as it should be.
-I am glad you don't have much CA.

Work on exposure and you should be fine.

Dark cloudless sky to you.

Thanks for your input Samsen. You know I never even notice the washing out on the bright side of the moon until you pointed it out.
I will have a look at the link a little later.
And the CA you mentioned is something that I have not come across before so I don't know what it means.
I have not taken too many moon shots so I am learning how to do it.
So all advice on this is good. though I am not too sure if I will be one to take too many shots of it.
As it is a part of Photography I am not that interested in.
But i thought give it a go anyway.
