Moon-street scene

I'm on the fence with this one, but not sure why. Any thoughts, criticisms? Please?

I think the street lights - especially on the right side - are too bright, and distract me from the Moon. Had to look twice to see it.

Its the three other lights that are below and closest to the moon that is throwing my eyes off the moon almost entirely. You could edit them out and isolate the moon to allow it to stand out with more distinction. Or, just take another stab at it. Either way, and honestly, the shot doesn't do much for me. The moon gets lost in the street scene. Hard to know what the subject is.

I agree, though I would add that the three non-aligned lights on the right also add to the problem. If you clone all of the "strays" out, the moon stands out more.

Van with open door and the stop hand sign, along with decapitated lights on the right, kill the mood for me! Love your stuff in general though! Cheers!

Thanks for your comments everyone, I wanted (and failed) to get a moon picture with some context. I'll try to do better next time.
