This photo is just loaded with atmosphere.

super complementary hues, tree silhouettes add a nice depth perception with layers of
one's own interpreted meaning~

I wonder how you got the moon and the trees focused separately? I've tried and failed.

I use the manual focus but I still can't get both to any reasonable amount of sharpness. It's a challenge that AndyS gave me!

Any tips/advice would be most welcome.

I used a tripod, remote shutter release and manual focus.

The settings:
f/5.6
ISO 100 (I always start there for moon shots)
1/100sec
18-55mm lens at 55

Hope this helps.
