Very impressionist, very painterly, very pictorialist.

Two things strike me. First, the irony of using an 80MP back for a long exposure picture where movement blurs all detail (not that you shouldn't, but it still made me smile). And then, the moon (?) at the top of the frame. It distracts me, pulling my eye up above the clouds because it is so bright.

So, although the picture has many strengths and conjures up a wonderful mood, I am not sure that it entirely succeeds.

Thanks Scott and John!
For the 80mp, at least, I can have a very large print, great color and less Photoshop; nothing to pay more.
I like the way it was and left the moon and everything else untouched. I know people can have different opinions and your comment is very well accepted :) I actually waited until the moon was unhidden by the clouds.
Thanks again.
