Questions to guide your feedback
The criteria was for a moonlight shot, however, while this photo was inspired by just moonlight, I thought the juxtaposition of both moonlight and the manmade light added to the quality of the shot, adding more mystery. What do you think?

It’s a fine look at this lighthouse with the light, the moon and the interior lights showing. I do think that a double exposure, to control the brightness of the moon would be an improvement. Given the position of the moon, it’s clearly not the light source for the buildings, but it’s presence adds a lot to the view. I do need to move this to Nightscape & Astro because non-nature images are only allowed is Weekly Challenge when it’s stated in the description (see the Weekly Challenge description).
An interesting image, with the buildings nicely illuminated and the stars adding interest. I agree a double exposure for the moon would have been a nice touch.
There is certainly agree with @Mark_Seaver - since the dynamic range is too much for a single exposure, try blending in 2-3 exposures - keeping on mind the reality of the situation
