Mike,

I corrected the vertical alignment of the image.

Thank you for the suggestion.

I am posting this image because I would like to receive constructive comments in order to improve my photographic skills. I am self-learning photography during my spare time. Moon scenery is my big passion, but it is not easy to photograph. I tend to overexpose the moon. This image represents an attempt to capture a beautiful scene. I was driving home from school when I saw the moon rising over this church. The sun was setting on the west and I only had a few minutes to setup my camera and take a few frames. This is the first frame that I exposed. The moon in the other ones look more overexposed. The dynamic range of the scene was rapidly changing as it was turning darker. I am not sure if the moon is aesthetic to the scene. It is overexposed, relatively too small, and not in the best place. A few months ago I sent this negative to a professional place for scanning, and I was very surprised not to see the moon in the image that was sent to me. It seems to be that the technician removed it without my consent. Should I also remove it or should I try to recover more detail using photoshop? What would you recommend?

Thank you in advance.

Nicolas

I love it.

I love this image. A similar effect might be obtained if a film frame is exposed twice: the first one using a tele photo lens for the moon; the second one using a desirable wide angle lens so that the two images of the moon overlap. Although I have not done such an experiment, I have seen images created in this way here in photo.net.
