Ross Errilly Before Moonrise (Surprise Rejection! Read Comments)

I scouted this location for my moonrise images (see previous posts) but having determined the angle of the moon using an online tool I realised this spot wasn't going to work... That said, a blue hour shot was well in order. You're actually looking from County Mayo, Ireland across an unseen river to the Friary, which is in County Galway. In processing this, I was reminded of Ansel Adams' most famous work, 'Moonrise Hernandez' and so I've tried to make this a tribute to the master's style, limiting myself to digital dodge and burn techniques, and keeping the digital noise to substitute for actual film grain. Enjoy...
