The only word I can think of is amazing. Is that a camera phone?? Perfect color capture, framing couldn't be better. Focus and presentation is mature and celebratory. Life is good when we've got that moon!

Congrats Fred, on your contest win with a super shot. Good work buddy for a well deserved recognition. I need to practice my moon shots, so far, not much luck.

This is a great shot. The redness of the moon really captures your attention, and the detail is great. Congratulations on winning the single shot of the moon contest!

Great focus, and a creative entry for the contest, like seeing only the crescent.
Good lighting, like the orange glow.
Great framing.
Well done.

Very good shot of the moon. No matter how hard I try I can never get my shots to turn out this crisp. Very good focus, contrast, lighting, and framing of the shot.
