This is magical Roland. The blue-green colour and makes it look unreal but beautifull. The glitter makes the water look like floating metall.

Magic? certainly....Beautiful? Of course. I love it. It seems we are in front of a Mecury sea! Great colors Roland.

Now this is inspiration for me. I love these shots - at night or when the sky is dark - it is much more difficult. Thanks for the tech detail on the filter - I will try that. Beautiful composition too. It looks very real!

Très bel aspect métallique de la surface de l'eau et joli reflet de lune.

Very nice picture, but I think it's not at night. You say you used a ND filter and at an exposure of f8 and 1/480 seconds I can only guess it's the Sun ligh we see here. Anyway it's a wonderful image.

Very nice Roland. I thought I'd show you how I would crop this one, you may like it, you may not. :)

A full moon shot of this quality at 1/480 seconds is quite a feat Roland. The filtering that you used did a good job in rendering the mood you wanted in the clouds and on the water.Well done.

Great shot Roland, you were lucky with the weather conditions and the moon being very bright, but cloudy enough to diffuse the sky light, but reflect quite brightly on the water. Colour is super. Nice shot!
