A few minutes after a similar shot I posted. This time the moon is partially hidden, so it’s a better exposure. My goal was to emphasize the color and texture of the sky and water and de-emphasize the shore / bridge.

When I brightened the sky and water, it brightened the bridge and sand dune. I tried to darken it using tone equalizer and a mask but it looks a bit un-natural. I’d like to affect less of the water, but I’m struggling with values for the different parameters to get a “good” mask. Increasing the feather size to the right and left would make the effect less obvious.
