Default Happy accident
This is my first post here ever

I was taking pictures at Zoolights when I turned around to get a shot of the port lights over on the bay reflected in the cloud cover. The blue Christmas lights behind me added a glow to the trees. I have not done any post-processing yet other then to crop the electrical cord out of the bottom of the shot. I didn't even see it in the dark!

Hey, that is an awesome photo! If I wouldn't have been told, I would have though it had been PP. The orange sky is a great contrast to the blue lights on the trees.
