Moonbeams Overpass

Moon floating over a freeway overpass.

I seriously am in love with the diffraction effect of my old Wollensak on point lights. This one has a much less dramatic effect effect compared to some photos I've done with it, but even so it still beats the snot out of any hokey starburst filter.

I like the picture. Maybe retouch the 'arm' of the crane (whatever it is)on the left.
 
It is a street light that didn't appear to be on. It was there when I took the photo, so it is there when I make prints.
 
This is quite good as night photography - difficult at best. I think I would crop out some of the foreground and some of the left side making the resulting enlargement full size. I think the highway bridge or overpass or whatever deserves more attention than even the moon. I see nothing wrong with the dark image of the unlit streetlamp as it is "balanced" by the power pole on the right.
