 Shot of a firework going off in front of the moon.

Only during the challenge did I notice how noisy this photo can appear. I looked at it on my work laptop, and it appeared much brighter, but also with noise running through it, and a really visible piece of lens flare to the mid-top-right. In my "good" version, which I can see normally, I don't see any of that, the two stars are perfect pin sharp stars, and the black is matt black. Sadly that's not what everyone sees!

Fairly basic editing -

raw import - 3550,-1. -1.10,0,116,0,51

Enchance - Auto Contast

A run through Neat Image might have helped here, as I can see lots of digital noise on my monitor. Nice job not blowing out the moon, though. Good luck in the challenge.

great shot but a little grainy, adjusting the curves inn photoshop may have helped with fefinition, if you have PS. I love the way the moon and cloud adds to subject
