Very nice shot Hugh - I love the deep colours

Super exposure of the light too.

Hi Hugh,

While I like the idea, the colors, and the mood, having the moon right at the edge of the shot, and the other bright light in the foreground at the other edge, just causes my eyes to jump back and forth between them, as well as off the page. I think they both need a bit of 'breathing room', and maybe a little realignment if possible, to use the close light and the beacon light as a leading line to head to the moon as a destination.

Hello David,

Sorry the idea didn't come through for you. Maybe next time

Hey Hugh,

I like the deep colors in this. The idea of it being night is very clear, I like the details in the horizon.

Interesting comp. It works for me very well. However like David, I'd have liked to have the tiniest bit of space above the moon. My eye travels up the rail around the bend of land, then slaloms up to the moon. Unorthodox, but quite effective.

Hi Hugh,

I love the gorgeous, deep colour of this shot. I am quite fascinated, following the rail on the left to the small point of light on the left (as I look at it) of the far shore, then the almost perfectly straight line to the two bright stars and then on to the moon. And from the moon back down to the beacon. Unusual and, for me, effective composition.

Love the mood and the arrangement of lights in the scene, but I, too, wish the moon weren't right on the edge. Just my little $.02

Beautiful scene, regardless!

Hello Jim,

Thanks for commenting. Usually, one has to wait for a bit more light, but, once in a while, conditions are right for a 'mostly dark' image to work. Glad you enjoyed this one.

Hello Tim,

Thanks for commenting. I was kind of stuck in that pointing the camera up would have 'tilted' the rails on the left. I guess I could have use PS to move the moon, but I expected it to be a starting point instead of an end? In any event, glad you mostly enjoyed the image.

Hello Hugh.

I like the aleatoric nature of the artificial and natural light as it falls on this deeply saturated night time canvas. A beautiful mood; but also containing a restless energy.

Hello Peter,

Thanks for the detailed comment. The driving force for the image was the reflected moon light. Everything else resulted from getting its exposure correct and placing it in the frame where it 'felt right'. Glad you enjoyed the result.

I like how you are pushing the limits, Hugh. Your work with color, saturation and exposure is inspiring.

This one doesn't work as well as your others for me. The colors are great, as always, but I feel the lights - the points of attraction - are too scattered. The moon almost off the edge, not quite enough of the dock, and various other bright points scattered about seem to lose me. That is of course my opinion, but I hope you find it helpful - I always appreciate the colors you come up with on those early mornings!
