I also want to say that the thing I most thought you guys would pick up but didn't.......which again I am VERY pleased about, is that the moon is fake. It wasn't there..........it's taken from an image I took in Mallorca on April. I had to give the moon a reflection using cloning and dodge/burn.

Certainly.

And if the moon is a fake - would you care to try placing it on the diagonal line from the corner top right to the top of the lighthouse?

To be honest, with your first upload I thought the surreal colour combination and patterns of light looked a little contrived and at first glance it did not occur to me to view the image with any closer look at all the finer detailing; Assuming that you were just seeking a general critique upon composition and layout having created a Surreal image (which is why I suggested cloning in something to balance the picture if you were not cropping it).

I would be the last one to tell an artist how they should have painted a particular picture, unless they specifically asked upon specific aspects in detailing.

The colours are real, maybe a bit saturated.

I noticed last Monday, that te moon was quite high, in a very beautifully coloured evening sky. The colours are not that unusual, but this was the Southern sky, rather that the Wstern one.

I remember going out one morning, a few years ago, to take pictures of the sunrise when the whole sky changed to a bright pink. I couldn't believe it. Normally, any colour change fades as the distance from the light source increases but, in this case it didn't.

Glad my image had created something to talk about. Thats what it's all about. The colours were tweaked by adding a filter and adjusting hue/saturation but not a great deal. It was the filter that gave the surreal effect I was after. I cloned out the rock in the foreground and added the moon. Here they are, side by side, original (left) post processing (right).

Reinardina, heres one similar to yours, that I took in my very early camera days. The colours are stunning
