This is my attempt of levyj413's tutorial
//www.dpchallenge.com/how.php?HOW_ID=46
Except I had a little more trouble considering I'm using a d40 with a 18-55 kit lens and a 55-200. I started with clicking the remote and taking a shot of the moon at 200mm using the paper slider. Then I covered the camera with a cardboard box and switched lenses in darkness to the 18-55 so I could shoot the harbour at 18mm for about half a minute. Another click of the remote to close the shutter and I was done. The lights of the city across the harbor gave a slight purple glow and I just tweaked the different curve levels slightly. Gave some USM and Neat Image, crop, added border, done.

Wow - what an incredible shot. I had to come back to this after the challenge to see how it was done. Fascinating technique. Hats off to you & congrats for 12th place.
Great Photo. The colouring adds to the photo here (in contrast to many others, where they have just coloured a photo and the purple adds nothing). It helps set the mood here. Love the Full Moon, obviously the right time of the month for you with this challenge. Exccelent Entry.
Interesting shot. The moon looks a little unrealistically large. The moon also looks a bit bright for the lighting in the scene, i.e. the scene would be brighter with that large of a moon. I'm wondering how you accomplished the huge moon without a double exposure or adding it in photoshop. I think you're close to a really cool shot but it isn't quite there yet in my opinion.
Composition: 7

Challenge: 4 - Color shifting to this extent to fit the challenge is stretching it
Overall Calculated Average Score: 6
the double exposure with dif fd again?.
the d.e technic looks perfectly executed
purple hues in the moon look artificial thoug
