Thank you everyone for the encouragement, it's what creates the great site we have. I thought of the story the other way than most looked at it, for me the water sparkles & bird are set in the night sky. Anyway here are the originals

A lovely tale here, almost good for Oscar Wild's beautiful children story.
I find it though that the background should have been slightly adapted as tonality so that the moon will not be so totally alien from the stars. It's too much like two shots put together. To me, the picture could almost be nicer if the moon gets cropped.
Bump up
This is lovely. I think you used a star filter on your camera to get the starry lights, but I believe various images were combined to create this magical scene. NOT REAL
Interesting effect. I definitely believe this is a digital composite. the moon alone seems to be too perfect to be a reflection. The lights look interesting and I wonder how that was created.
