Interestingly I was just talking about luna rainbows. ^^
I heard they are very rare, and adding venus with one as well as the moon makes this shot truly amazing.

I was just browsing critique's and at this moment in time this seemed the only thing worth me spending my time talking about. I know that doesn't mean much, but hey its a start. ^^

There is a lot of light exposure used in this image, I have never taken a photo of a luna rainbow however I guess this is necessary. The moon is high above the clouds and rest of this image, giving a fantasy feel to this image. (Especially as venus is shown.)
The rainbow is clear and sharp, truly adding to your photo. The stars look great, and this remote atmosphere is amazing. It looks more like an interesting twilight, at the moon looks more like the sun with how bright it is.

This was taken with a good camera, I would say. I would quite like to know what one.

This is a critique, I know I should say what is 'right' and what is 'wrong'.
Personally the only issue I have is that the image is a little bit too bright. However the more I look at this image the more I grow to like the brightness aspect. There is also a slight light blur, if you look to at the bottom of the image in line with the moon and go left a bit you should see it. If you have any photo editing software this should be an easy fix.

I am just being picky though, this is an amazing photo. You captured it well. I hope one day I can get a shot like this.
I could keep blabbering on about your photo, but I would bore you so much you could never look at it again. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="^^;" title="Sweating a little..."/>

Anyway, you have just earned +watch. I hope to see more amazing images like this. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt=":)" title=":) (Smile)"/>
