That is neither a fair, nor true comment. With the exception of our resident
troll, there have been many compliments and hopeful suggestions. Life is not
a kindergarten and I am not related to the maker. If an image is submitted
for critique and I am so inclined I will make what I hope are helpful
suggestions. Just as when I submit an image in the SI, I hope to get honest
comment.

If you like the image, it would be helpful to all of us by saying why you
like it. That too is helpful critique.

How would you propose to have both the moon and the silhouette both be
sharp in a single shot with 1000mm f.l.?

The same way you take a picture of a hummingbird, with its wings frozen,
with a 28mm f5.6 lens, without strobe.

I'm sorry, I must be dense. Can you please be more explicit?

Careful planning.
