Thumbs up Full Moon Snowy night

2 years after the freezing experience at the toblerone mountain I'm back to ice-cream mode.
This was taken last weekend in one of the Swiss Alps passes under a full moon and far below freezing point.

Bernina Pass

Canon 7D
Exposure was 20sec @ f/8.
Sigma 10-20mm at 10mm.

Cheers,
André Passos

I usually don't like the distortion caused at the edges of a wide angle lens maxed out, also the end of the building being cut off is a little unsettling. But in this photo I think it does not detract too much, and may add to the feeling of movement. Could the sky be lightened just a tad? Admitted bone green newby!

I am always amazed at full moon long exposures. I will have to try it one day. I like the deep blue of the sky and the leading line created by the trail lights. I am used to snow, i live in Montreal but this is a whole lot of snow.
