Thanks, bsiegler! These definitely have some contrast added, yes. Here's a before and after showing SOOC and after LR edits (Just LR on this, nothing fancy in photoshop). Besides the obvious crop and upright adjustments (Did not bring a tripod, so I was at the mercy of solid objects for camera placement and orientation), the edits went something like this:

> Warmed the image up quite a bit (+1900K) (I always shoot RAW, which has led to a terrible habit of ignoring in-camera WB and making drastic changes later) and added a bit of magenta tint (+4)
> Increased the contrast in the clouds by pulling back the midtones and highlights and pushing the whites a bit.
> Lifted the shadows, but dropped the blacks to maintain depth.
> +10 each on vibrance and saturation (I tend to like pretty strong colors)
> Dropped the saturation and luminance of the blues, which had the strongest effect on the clouds and the water. Decreased saturation made them both more color-neutral, and decreasing the luminance added a bit to the drama in the clouds.
> Upped the luminance and saturation of the oranges, which made the window lights pop a bit more.

And there you have it! Hope that helps a bit :-)

Lucerne, one of my faves in Europe. I've shot this bridge so many times but never from this side. Beautiful!

Fantastic shot. I admire the perfect composition. Congratulation. Do you mind to share some practical details. How have you got such an occasion to catch full moon? Have you made any special preparations? What exposition parameters have you used?
