Interesting subject, feels very calming. I would personally like to see a bit of sky above the moon.

As this one stands it doesn't work for me. If the horizon / boat / lights etc were super sharp it might draw the eye in a bit more

Sorry

If the Moon was a bit lower (Even though you can't change this.. yet! :)), this would be a better shot, and yes a bit sharper as well would be good.
I take it this is a 24-120VR shot :wink: :lol:
No offence I actually really like this image due to it's blue tinge. :)

What I like - I love the atmosphere this shot creates. The beautiful blue tinge really works here. I also think having the moon add greatly to the appeal of the photo.

What I dont like - its a bit soft. In this type of light you need a tripod (or a sturdier tripod).

As a vertical pano, it doesn't appeal to me, but the colour is sensational.

whereas I like the colours of this, vertical panoramas dont appeal to me,
possibly because my eyes tend to see things horizontally. I would have preferred more sky above the moon also.

i find it an interesting shot.... the composition annoys me a little, but at the same time it's quite calm and great tones...

cheers

I really like the serenity of this, the color and tones are catching, just needs a bit of room above the moon...

Very calming and relaxing image... Very nice...

I like it, but I don't think you need the top third, and I don't think the moon needs to be there to make the shot. Crop the top third and this works for me.
