Shot around 2100 hrs with a full moon as part of my experiment: first time using RAW, first time with HDR via Photomatix, and first time with my new Tokina 12-24. This was my favorite of the series because of the clouds.

The clouds really make this shot. They give the sense of movement, as though the viewer is zooming into the frame. Very crisp and noiseless for such a long exposure.
Beautiful sky, really like the blues in the shot, IMO the trees on the left covers a little too much and hides the lil island that is intriguing. Maybe more of the water and sky, but still a great shot. 7
