Alas, sometimes "being there" does not help.
Tonight it is so foggy in Central California that you cannot see 100 feet,
let alone those two bright night lights- with the moon lurking nearby,
but last night (Sunday) was a wonderful cluster.

A very nice picture, Diane. It looks like you've followed stimbo's advice.
Just a small suggestion, if you're up for it.
(1) Crop the rocks off to emphasize that enormous, beautiful sky. But leave a strip of dark water to give perspective.
(2) Wait a tad longer before shooting to darken up the sunny area just a bit giving that sky a richer range of tones.
I understand what you're going for and really like it. It's a very special time of day. The moon is well placed and the sky is marvelous.
Regarding point #2, it might work and it might not. I would take a series of shots and judge them later.
P.S.
Actually, strike #2 off. It may be my monitor as I need to scroll up and down. The moon is well placed between the light and dark area. The faint
clouds around the moon really make that picture. As does the sky above the moon slowly fading into total darkness. Really good, Diane.

Thanks---I really love getting suggestions---any and all are welcome!
I will play with it, and when we get back down there, I will continue to sit on the front porch and practice with sunsets---tough job, but someone has
to do it.

Nice picture, Roger. I really like what the flash did to that palm tree. Giving it some definition and not just a dark sillhouette (sp?) makes a
difference and more interesting to my way of thinking.
