Anyway, the first thing I noticed was that the picture looks a bit soft. I can certainly see some details, but they look slightly out of focus. Did you use manual or automatic focus? It could just be my eyes, though.

Also, the white balance looks off. The color of the moon looks a little on the cold side. I'm not sure if that's how it really looked the night you took it, but all the times I've seen it, it had a cream/yellow tone to it.

But, with respect to your question, the exposure looks good.

Hope this helps.
Thanks I feel stupid, I thought I posted in the critique section. My mistake. Thanks for the critique... The moon actually had a bluish cast to it that evening. As to the focus... now that you say it, it does seem a little soft. I'll have to revisit the moon idea and shoot again and try to get more focus.
