    Moonlit Clouds

    I saw how it looked and decided to see what I could do. It's not the greatest, since I used a 1.6 second shutter and the clouds were slowly moving, but I like how it looks with the lighting... Let me know what you think...

    Very nice, IMHO. It is good for what it is although it is a tad soft, but that adds to the allure. But what I find missing is the rest of the photo -- the composition looks perfect for a building in the foreground there, on the left side, like the latest Batman movie's Gotham City (Batman Begins, I believe). Try adding a building n see what you get!

    Also, did you notice that little lit area in the bottom center area? I wonder what it is?

    That point of light is either a bright star or a planet (I took astronomy so I should know, but I forget right now...). I agree a building or something would look good, so maybe if I ever have my camera in town at night I can try, but all I have around here is trees.

    Another thing that strikes me here is how you captured so many colors in the clouds. I have a painting with a sky like this too. Makes for a very interesting twist to a normal cloudy evening........

    Trees would make good foreground too.

    I increased the saturation, but there was some color to begin with. That's why I got my camera out.
