I think I've seen this in a dream before. Very nice. Just curious...what was the light source for the FG rocks?

Surreal is the word I was thinking of too. Very beautiful.

This is outstanding! Your exposure is masterful in capturing a wonderfully composed scene.

This is a very surreal image, Salvo. Wonderfully composed. Very nice. I, too, am wondering what was the light source for the fg rocks?

Excellent shot and thanks for sharing

Wonderful exposure, Fantastic light and composition. How do you handle the noise from a 25 sec exposure

Fantastical image. Maybe a bit of burning around the moon but a minor point in a great image. Perhaps more Man & Nature than ESS though.

Top Shot.... very atmospheric...due to the control of the exposure.

To Mike Dawson: No particular problem with noise on EOS 5D, I find this camera is very good to control long exposition sensor noise.

To Kah Kit Yoong: Yes the moon is burned, no doubt, but I have notice there are some difference between LCD monitor and CRT monitor. On CRT monitor moon is burned too, but some clouds on it are more visible, the difference is very remarkable!

To everybody: Thank you very much to appreciate my photo
