Awesome shot! How did you get the moon to be flared/starry like that? When i shoot the moon it always comes out as a blob... :/

Thank you all very much for all the comments. Many of you talked about some artifacts and a line in the picture. Something happened in the upload and the picture got corrupted. It was stupid of me not to look better at the picture after I uploaded. You can see a better version of it on my Flickr. Here is a direct link //www.flickr.com/photos/ingvargud/3272919102/

Beautiful blue tones; this looks like a wonderful spot to just sit and do nothing.

This brings back fond memories of a stay by the ocean & my mom waking me up in the middle of the night to go outside and see the moonpath across the ocean.

That's a peaceful view - nice composition.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 12:28:18 PM
Hauntingly beautiful image. Very beautifully executed. There's just one little odd object that does not appear to fit in and is probably an artifact of some kind due to editing and processing. You can see it on the left. About 3 cm from the bottom up and 3 cm from the left side of the frame where the 2 lines cross. It's a little square object. Nevertheless, stunning image. 8

Very nice slow shutter. Love the creamy water.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 11:56:08 AM
Not sure what that little artifact thing is on the bottom half on the left. It's rather distracting. But this is a nice shot.

very fine, moody, excellent exposure control
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 07:55:42 AM
A beautiful night shot, my night shots never look this good, thay're always black. I like the blue.

I'm noticing something very odd in the water on the left side about 1/3 of the way up, a few pixels, not sure what it is, doesn't look like a flare.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 06:28:05 AM
Very nice image. It's good to see a few "great" images. This is a perfect reflection of your abilities as a photographer.

I really like how the lighting balances the width of this shot. Just enough visible on the far right to make the entire shot interesting.

03/14/2009 03:20:18 AM
nice imagery, but what is the line below the horizon? Almost looks like file corruption...?
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/14/2009 02:30:00 AM
what's that line that goes across that shifts the blues to greens? strange.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1124 images, I gave 31 of them a 9. Your image was one of those 31.

So many sunset pictures in this challenge, it was nice to see a different angle - moonlight just looks so much more romantic. Fantastically cool blues, and motion blur around the rocks.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

serene and lovely 9
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 04:17:32 AM
Something is strange in the water. Looks like there is a line in there that separates the ocean from the blurred foreground and the colors change? Nice star effect on the moon tho and pretty colors.
  Photographer found comment helpful.

very nice nighttime long exposure shot. effective use of focal length to get starburt on moon.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 11:24:48 AM
I like this. Don't know if it would look better using shadow/highlights to bring some detail back in the foreground rocks.
