[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This photo looks like it just came out from the photocopying machine, right? But its not. The moon was so bright (upper left) and the city lights of China were almost blocked by the thick clouds (below the plane's wing) when I took this photo. I didn't know how to set my camera inorder to take this amazing moment, so I tried using the Night Mode (bad outcome) and Landscape Mode... the outcome? It was totally black... (The original photo is in WS, please feel free to WS it too, I would like to see how you do it, thanks)

Since I don't have Photoshop (and I don't know how to use it..), I used MS photo editor instead... I increased the brightness and contrast a lot, soften it and this was the outcome, I also crop it to fit trekearth's requirement on posting a photo. I hope you'll like it. Any comments/advice/photoshop are very welcome.

I have a similar shot last year at December. Anyway, it is quite busy because of the Post-processing you did. The composition is okay.
