I can't even think of something original to say because I am speechless. Therefore: I agree with everyone. Congrats on one super photo.

Very cool image Joe. I'm amazed by how much light the moon created here. Very well done.

Gorgeous shot!! Congrats! Hard to believe it's a night shot with those colors so vivid, but the stars tell the truth.

Oh, yeah! You were smart to wait for the moon to light up the trees in the valley and get that reflection. Sweet shot!

Joe, I gotta say, I've seen a lot of shots from here, and a lot of good ones, so it takes something pretty special to impress me with this type of image but you certainly did it. This is so clear it feels three dimensional, I'm totally drawn in. Really excellent work here.

Amazing photograph, Joe. Thankfully you told us the details of when and how shot. The moon was apparently bright and to your right. shadows are distinct and I guess the foreground across the river is in shadow as is the large tree to the left casting a distinct shadow, Congratulations for something really special.

Happy Snapper

I know people are probably tired of all these lunar rainbow shots, but I had to at least post one other one this week. If anything, just to show people that I also shoot things besides bridges :)

This is a single 3 minute nighttime exposure, which I just count off in my head ... one one thousand, two one thousand, three one thousand ... etc. I am too cheap to do anything automatically :{

Oh yeah - this lens rocks!!! f/6.3 and sharp from near to far :)
