It is a wonderful shot, with fantastic light and blue hour colours. Of course, the moon is a beautiful detail. Well done.

Aaah Michael, you have captured this very well. A well thought composition with the crescent moon representing the Islam symbol and together with their minarette and those three nice domes with their spikes on a blue hour background.

Hi Michael, how are you?
With this camera on hands you should be fine!
Even ISO was 1600 the exposure is free of noise at 1/60!
I love that framing and the blue color! The rested moon on the sky, steals the show into this composition.

Regards,
Athanasios.
