Bristol Weather Vane & Moon Photo

[cloudbuster]

Hi Everyone...Hope you are all keeping well?

Please find attached a picture which I took last year, but which I have only just processed.

A fast setting moon, fading into the early morning light, and a weather vane on Spike Island Bristol.

640th sec P f6.3 400asa 7.6.20

Please let me know what you think?

Kind regards

Bob

Well done.

A difficult subject to pull off successfully but you managed it with "flying colours." 
Both subjects are at different distances and finding best focus quite a challenge. 
"Infinity" only applies with short focus lenses.

I would have stopped the lens right down [for maximum depth of field] and hoped to avoid camera shake.
Any handy surface can be used to steady the camera if a tripod is not available.
Aligning the wind vane with the moon is not one of those things you can plan in advance.
Lamp posts, sign posts and street furniture can help sometimes.
What are the chances of anything useful coinciding with such an alignment?

Thanks rusted for your reply why yes it was very difficult to frame accurately as the slightest wobble on the tripod would lose the composition also the lighter the sky got the more or I was losing the moon as it was fading fast.
