 Thanks to all who commented. This was a BIG deal for me, because I am NOT a night photographer and low lighting is not my forte! I was unsure about leaving the landscape in and especially the telephone pole. Somehow, this reminded me of E.T.

This is delicious, and my favorite time of day.
You didn't post your camera settings with this, so I am just guessing that you were shooting at a high iso. Try some night shots as iso 100 or 200 and it will help a lot with the grainy look in the lower lighted areas.
I'm a relic from the days of film and chemistry, so I sort of like photos with a bit of grain, but they get hammered in voting here at DPC.
This is well composed, and I am ok with the telephone pole. You made a good connection with the title and the pole.

I like the soft colors and the hint of noise- seems painterly. Top 10

I tried to capture the moon the other night and just got a blur. This is stunning. Looks like the cover to a novel. I like this so much.
