    Cool shot of the moon. I like the two additional street lights lit in the photo that make your eyes move throughout the photo than just the moon.

      Thank you, Carol! I agree with your point about the streetlights. Sometimes I have tried removing “imperfections” that weren’t the intended “point” of a photo, only to realize afterward that the photo wasn’t as good anymore. Ironic! Luckily, digital editing is reversible!
