Notre=Dame island in Montreal the Biosphere at moon rise, the day before full moon, the tree next to it made it interesting to shoot

Please give me any hints to improve

Thanks

I like the balance between the light of the lamppost and the moon.
The lamppost is brighter thus it tends to draw the eye first. Then the eye moves across the sphere to the moon so I think your picture has a nice flow in the composition.
There is a bit of clutter at the bottom of the frame that needs to be cropped out as well as the branch that is sticking into the frame from the left.
There appears to be little interest to the right of the tree so I would consider cropping out some of that space.
Other than that I feel you have a nice capture and thanks for sharing.

I really like this, it is an interesting subject and well taken.
I mostly agree with Tom, except I'd try cloning the top left branch out rather than cropping as I like the curve of the sphere. My first thought was to lose a bit to the right of the tree as there is not much going on there and it would focus attention on the moon. Maybe a little crop to lost the bottom clutter.
In genereal a really good shot, thanks for sharing it.

I agree with the comment on the clutter in the lower part of the photo, other than that, it's great!

Nice shot, I would clone out the top left branch and crop out a bit at the bottom and the right part after the tree, make a square crop.

Comments well taken, I will follow your suggestions, I left it as it came out, to get more ideas on how to correct it

Thanks
