Hello!

I took this picture week while my girlfriend and I brought our dog for a walk in a park. I had my tripod installed on an aluminium pedestrian bridge. The moon was occasionally shining through the clouds and made that shine on the water and ice (we've had some freezing rain the previous days). This was shot on my 7D with a sigma 17-70 f/2.8 "C" lens. Specs are 17mm, f/8 (for sharpness) iso 800 for 20sec. I don't have a remote timer so I used the 10sec timer on the camera instead.

As for post, I brought the exposure and contrast up a little, cooled off the ugly yellow city light pollution with the WB and added some saturation to the blues and reds/oranges for effect. I had other shots taken with the same settings but with 30 second exposures, but none had that shine on the water as the moon retreated behind the clouds. I use Lightroom 5, by the way.

Thoughts? If the image is too large, I'll upload a resized version.
