It is a striking image. I wish you hadn't lopped off the top of the tallest lamp post.

I think this calls for a square composition. Otherwise, great color.

+1. And I wish you'd centred the moon between the two posts. I like it, though.

What the others have said. Nice image, lots of potential.

Unfortunately, there are a set of huge hydro cables right above and to the foreground that I chose to omit, thus causing the cutoff of the upper pole. Square crop might work. Centering meant standing in 30 foot deep water, as is, I was over the edge and then some.  ;D  I'm going back tonight and see if I can find another shooting position as I too like the way this shot emerged. Thanks all.

You might find it heretic, but I think this all could be photoshopped from what you have in the image ...
Moving the moon, finishing the top of the image .....
:D

Absolutely! One of those times when I wouldn't mind Briotizing it. 😊

The top has two issues. The cables are a bitch to remove and if I raise the top of the light standard and I can handily do it, I have to change the crop ratio and that I'm not sure I want to do...anyway, Russ would murder me in my sleep. I was trying to avoid to much cliché-ish positioning with the moon and obviously not trying to fall in the bay. I'll dink about with it later.

Many fine suggestions here, but I think the image is very nice as presented.

Chris
The fix is simple with the image you have there.  Add more canvas to the top- select the top of the cut off lamp to isolate it from a content aware fill of the newly added top= and copy and paste a new lamp top in its place in another layer-  then square crop the image   
Saw your editing allowed so I post.  ;-)

BTW there is a ton of really dark  spots all over the image mostly in the upper right hand corner... was this shot with a D600 ?

I think the moon is better slightly off center as it is, but including the top of that lamppost is essential. (IMO)
