Marvin,

By your title, I suspect you were photographing the lunar eclipse.  Your photograph doesn't have the typical copper- or brick-red color of the moon in total eclipse, however, nor the contrast in brightness between the parts in the penumbra and umbra if it were in partial eclipse.  If you took the picture in Florida, the moon set as it was entering the umbra, so totality was not visible from there.

To me, it looks more like a yellowish moon that is typical when it is near the horizon.  The moon in your picture has a red fringe on the bottom, and a green fringe on the top, which is caused by atmospheric refraction when the moon is low.  So, perhaps this is a picture of a setting moon rather than one in eclipse.  Do you know what time the photo was taken?  The time shown in the exposure data seems off.
