***** pre-challenge comments *****
My first attempt at doing a night shot. Talk about hit & miss! Major experimenting with all the settings to make something happen. Biggest problem was the moon was overexposing. Ended up with something lucky that made this work. It was almost midnight on a private road with no traffic. Just as this exposure was finishing a car approached from around the corner illuminating the trees along the road. This added to the reflection in the foreground pond. Had the car been 2 seconds earlier or later I don't think this would have worked quite right. ;^)
Hope the viewers/voters like it!
