The moon shining in my face

Another shot at the moon and found it a challenge to get that line of cloud in.
I had posted another photo today but was so unsatisfied with it that I deleted it. Sorry Amanda! @amandal who commented on it.
I'm not happy about this one either - the photos seem to deteriorate when I post them.

Three good things:
1. Lay out in the sun to put some colour on my pale white limbs.
2. It was rather nice on the trampoline reading my new book
3. New friends on FB - ones that I trust!

Stunning Maggiemae. I like all the extra circles of light shining in the sky.

[Maggiemae]

@flowerfairyann I didn't see those in my photo! A lot of things happen to photos when you post them on 365 now!

[Corinne]

Gorgeous colors

[KWind]

Lovely image. I like the sky colour.

[Bep]

It's wonderful with the dark background!

[ShirleyB]

I agree wit Ann, the extra circles add to the shot and the line of cloud is brilliant the way it exaggerates the moon.

[Paula W]

I've never had any luck with moon shots myself but you've done a great job here Maggiemae, love that cloud.

[Beryl Lloyd]

A wonderful shot of the moon with the addition of the two street light making a wonderful elongated triangle of lights - I love the white cloud echoed by the white building in the distance !

@maggiemae @paulaw - If I may, here is a video on shooting the moon where Jim Beltz teaches how to get the details of the moon. There are two videos. fast forward to 2:36 in the first video. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H8gOQddlHeg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mabepa1jdtA
Following his recommendations has helped me.

@skipt07 Ooh thanks Skip I'll give it a go.

[Judith Johnson]

I love the purple sky and the cloud is brilliant. I've tried to photograph the moon with little success.

[Maggiemae]

@skipt07 thanks Skip - I have been able to shoot the moon clearly close up but in this shot I wanted the whole scene and had to work around the intense light of the moon!

[katy]

Well I just like it enough to give it a FAV! Beautiful color and lights and the clouds reflecting the moonlight are the perfect compliment to the composition!

[Maggiemae]

@grammyn thank you Katy you are a sweetie! I need to improve on my night sky shots though!

[Julie F]

I really like this composition, the image is interesting and you have photographed the scene very well.

One thing I know about shooting the moon is that you must treat it like daylight as it's reflecting the sun. But I think you did alright with this one- it's like the moon is trying to be the sun!
