Two photos different views.
Full moon at the bridge, B&W.
I like #1 very much! The starburst is a nice effect of what would otherwise be just an over-exposed moon, the mood is mysterious, the composition very interesting. Super work!
I think #2 would work better for me if you could have included the railing on the left side of the bridge.

Thank you very much. It was late, I was tired, focus was ? But at least I got some pictures. Very few this year. Tough year. I couldn't get the moon in the water and the left side of the bridge I think. shot at 28mm. Should have tried my 11-16.
I like both of them very much! Love the starburst in the first one, and the reflection in the 2nd one! Thanks for sharing.

These are wonderful. For those of us who wish to learn, would you list your equipment and settings?

I like number one the best. Two starbursts are too busy.

I agree with these comments.
And, further, "zoom" out with your feet for #2.

Thank you so much.
I used a tripod for both. Fired with an electronic switch. Locked mirror up.
Photo one: July 31, 9:16 PM. Nikon D7100, 30 sec f16 ISO 800. Sigma 18-35 1.8 lens at 20mm. the f16 brings out the star burst.
Photo two: July 31, 9:25 PM, D7100, 25 secs. at f16 ISO 800. Same lens at 28mm.
These negatives are dark. I opened the shadows up and increased exposure 1 2/3 to 2 full stops.

Thank you.
Maybe I should have shot it at f7 to lose the starbursts. I won't know soon.

I was looking for the reflection. Maybe in error. A lot of the stuff I do is experimental for me. Always looking for a new way. Trying to use the advice of a pro. End up with a lot of junk. Oh well.
