Moon Glow on the Sea

[BarryHamilton]

A favorite from Morro Bay. Thanksgiving weekend, '14.
I saw the moon's reflection from our rental and I had to run down to the Strand to capture it.

Interesting image - I can see why it's one of your favorites.

Hey Barry,

A nice one indeed! I like the moon in this, and I like that it hasn't washed out all of the stars. Morro Rock is nice and balances with the moon. I think I would clone out those few lights at the base of it though.

Barry,
Really neat capture you have a real night feel and still capture beautiful light.
I might also try a version where you actually crop out the moon, crop just below so you get a slight glow . It will really emphasize the beautiful reflective light and not have the distraction of the bright moon.
I also might clone out or reduce the exp on the lights in the lower left as Jim indicated.
Regards,
Dean

Oh, Barry! Very nice indeed! This really makes me feel I'm there again. Great atmosphere. I think I would do as Jim suggests and get rid of those lights and let nature have it's say with all the rest of the elements. Nice job, podnah!

A very beautiful scene Barry. Well done!

Thanks, fellas. I appreciate your comments and suggestions, and if/when I print it will probably make some of those tweaks.
MB is a special place for me and I'm glad some of you like it as well.

Not my stuff. Just late beach strollers or fishermen.
