The only reason I commented was because I took a picture same time and the moon is facing the other way. Just a stupid observation of mine. Great picture.
Thanks! I might be a little delinquent for not mentioning this was shot in Venice, Fl. Sometime in Feb. or March.
Absolutely beautifull picture. Nice work.
We might not like it, but Mother Nature has her reasons. Survival of the fittest can seem cruel. Preaching to the choir here.

The f5.6 should have no effect on the graininess. I have shot at many f-stop values and it just doesn't matter.
I agree, but a wider aperture might allow the iso to be lowered, perhaps significantly.

Always beautiful to see this Symbol of Freedom flying.
I agree, and the older I get the more I appreciate it.

This may sound like a stupid question but was this picture rotated horizontally?
It's about 1° ccw I think, to straighten out the flag pole.
Thanks for stopping by.
Wow, beautifull flowers captured perfectly.
Very nice pics. I like the isolation you got.
Let freedom ring! Hope you have a great 4th!
It's an attractive picture, night sky photography is a blast.
It looks like you have a lot of light pollution where this was taken, if you can find darker skies or catch Venus higher in the sky you might be able to lower yout iso and get a less noisy picture while maintaining contrast.
Also f5.6 is a little slow for night skies try to get to f2.8 or faster.
Edit: also try 20 second or so shutter speed on a tripod. (Delayed release)
Yeah Baby, that's what I'm talkin about! Let's get it on!
Nice series Annie, like them all.
One tiny nit pick, your focus looks slightly off on the tiger close up and the little mouse fellow. (Maybe due to fencing or glass?)
Looks like an interesting zoo.
