30 second exposure at almost full moon, Jan 5th, 4 hours after sunset.
The moon is to the high left, outside the picture, the one bright spot you see on the left is the planet Mars. The light glow on the rocks is ice, it was minus 5 'C (=23 'F) at the time. The sea was gently rocking on the shore, but due to long exposure it looks smooth.
Image rotated to get horizon straight. Cropped, applied levels, followed by neatimage, resizing, unsharp mask, save for web.

Beautiful, otherworldy photo. Makes me imagine some magical time that we never see but actually exists very briefly at night. Composition, exposure, and clarity is great. I knocked of 1 point and gave you a 9 because the horizon line looks slightly tilted to me. Sorry if it isn't! It may also be an optical effect of the little peninsula, but I stared at it for awhile and it doesn't look straight to me. Very cool though, they could have put this scene in Lord of the Rings.
