Lovely image Pedro - love the colors and the mood you have created here. My only "nit" is that very small moon in the image due to the wide angle lens used. To me it just looks like a small white dot, distracting to the overall photo. Why couldn't you photograph the moon separately at that time with, say a 50-70mm lens and add that in where that smaller moon exists? Or do you feel that that would be too much manipulation? After all, we manipulate images in the first place by using different focal lengths, blending of images, or stitching panos together. By using a somewhat larger moon (pretty much as the human eye would see it size-wise), from another exposure at the same time as you took the original image you could even expose the moon correctly and get some detail in it as well. Overall it wouldn't change the original scene because you're not adding/subtracting an element that wasn't present in the scene originally.

Thank you Mark for your comment. It is probable that that is a good idea and possibly in future occasions i will have it encounters. Thank you.

The moon being a bright dot doesn't bother me too much personally. I'm super sensitive to tilted horizons though and this one seems just a tiny bit tilted. Other than that it's an absolutely spectacular photo.

Very nice!
I don't mind the moon either.
Could use a touch of CW rotation.
