A couple days ago it was cloudy, the moon was full lighting up the clouds. I found the scene very pretty but a huge challange. So, A long exposure of 1/5 of a sec and a really quick on right after for the moon it self and using the two exposures as a first attempt at layer masking in CS3, I get something that does a decent job at showing what my eye seen as I took the photos

I have done one other composite image, but not quite like this.

I really like it...an image that looks like what I often see at night, but which I am unable to photograph.
