I usually center the moon because it's the only object in the shot. The clouds made all the difference in this photo.

I enjoy seeing the craters and mountains in your detailed moon shots, but this is closer to how the moon looks when observed directly, without a device in between.

I agree; the clouds really add some drama.

I find your comments completely right on! And I thank you.

That creeping orange color in the lower right makes the shot, and is also very Halloweeny.

preferring to just read others opinions. However, this photo is deserves a compliment. Very dramatic. Good job.
