8. I wish I had a failure like that!

There are a few spots in L.A. where many photographers have gotten a similar shot, capturing the planes approaching LAX against the full moon. There is a group of people who call themselves the "Lunartics," who often head out every month for the full moon. I haven't gotten the shot myself, but several of my friends have it.

I think this shot of yours is amazing. Congratulations. Perhaps, if you're not happy with it, you could try working some "Topaz Magic" on it.
