 The moon wasn't where I wanted it and I had to find a spot to stand on at some landing I never went to before to get any kind of a city shot. I got lost coming home, nearly frostbit my hands in 20 degrees only after taking 10 pictures, and it was cloudy so I had to wait for the clouds to lift while standing into the wind. I was lucky in getting this one picture to use out of only 10 I was able to get before my fingers went stone cold numb.

But if nothing else at least I was able to finally use a long exposure that I did not try doing yet with this camera and I do like how that worked even with the wind blowing my tripod around! :>)

Very good exposure and a unique perspective for this bridge.

Nice, all the lights are trying to be moons.

Beautiful. I think that the street lights really compete with the moon though. Not voting.

Unfortunately one cannot make out the moon, the exposure was too long.

Nice shot, but, imo, the moon is not prominent enough, 6

Nice shot but I would have moved the tower off center a bit

Just beautiful, I love the soft blur of the lights. The perspective and bw effect works for me. 10
