Big moon

Driving back from town the moon was so low and so huge, I just had to have a got at taking a photo. It's taken from a bridge over the motorway and it's my first moon shot. I haven't really got the hang of it yet and it's a pity the 'man in the moon' isn't visible.
I like this because you've captured the colours in the sky and the detail of the tree. The only way to get the moon correctly exposed would be to underexpose by about 6 stops, but then you lose the other detail, which IMO would be a loss. (Or do an HDR of course!) This photo is great.

This is far far better than anytime I've attempted to shoot the moon, I like the colour of the sky, a deep deep purple.
