I wonder whether this would really be better with a clear moon. I like it as it is because of the mystic mood. -Gerald

I don't think you muffed it at all Sharon, we are at the mercy of the elements and mostly that is how we see things anyway.

I like the smooth transition between the tonal areas and there is sufficient detail at all levels and enough depth to appreciate that this is a night scape.

I find it challenging to get great results under these conditions, I think this is good.

I think digital cameras have some distance to go to catch good film stock when it comes to longer exposures/night shooting. Most of my efforts have been very disappointing because of the luminance and chrominance noise mostly.

Regards Bob

Thanks, everyone! But I feel like I muffed it, a few minutes earlier the moon was clear of the clouds and nice and sharp. But the shots I took then had the ISO set to 1600 and were just too grainy. Still this is a nice reminder of a pretty summer's night. ~Sharon

What fabulous layers composition - and that moon really does make the shot. Regards Nico

Ditto what Olaf said. With 10 miles behind and 10,000 more to go, definitely dreamlike.

Lovely shot, Sharon. I love the sliver of a moon.
