Moonglow

I'm a novice trying to learn to get better. I really love this

photo, Moonglow, however I know there are things others see wrong

with it that I cannot see. Pleas let me know what they are.

I like to think that all shots have potential.

In this photograph, you need a center of focus, detail and depth. Now there does'nt really seem to be too much going on here. But I think your own human vision see's more than what the film or sensors are capable of detecting. In a shot like this you want detail in the shadows and in the moon. this can be achieved through selecting the proper time of the day. You need to shoot this type of shot close to sunset, perhaps 1/2 hour to an hour. The exposure on the moon is with an ISO of 200, is 1/250 at f11-16. You want your daylight exposure on earth to be about 1/250 at f2.8. I would play around with this, but it seems to be a case of proper zone placement.
