Curious Dave... the use of f/3.2?

What drew me to this shot was the reflection of the posts in the water and wet sand so I wanted to make sure they stayed sharp and distinct. Ideally I like to shoot this lens around f 4.5 but it was getting dark and I wanted to stay at ISO-100. Even at f-3.2 the shutter speed was slower than I wanted to be at 1/40 sec but fortunately the water came out suitably sharp. Had I stopped down to f 4.5 on tonight's sunset it would have put me down around 1/8 sec and I most likely would have lost any hope for a sharp reflection in the sand/water.

Spectacular. Now I'm really pissed about my CA trip getting cancelled. LOL
When I moused over the photo I see that it's an HDR. Nice how the waves got captured clean as well as everything else. How many exposures?

You're not saying that the light behind the clouds is the moon, are you?

Looking at the 30 sec exposure, I am guessing it actually is (note also the stars)
At first glancde it does look like a sunset!!

I'm guessing it was about 30 mins after sunset. At that exposure you will still pick up an orange tinge in the sky and reflected in the clouds.

I'm getting all that, which is why I'm so curious. If it's "Moonset" on a full moon then the sun is going to be 180 degrees from where the moon is, so I'm having trouble conceiving the yellows coming from the moon if it's really that setting, and also the obvious glow point in the center of the frame behind the cloud. Could just be a bit of post sunset light magic with the full moon being behind the camera to light everything else - that's the only scenario that makes any sense to me. Wonderful photo.
Yes, it's the moon setting alright. The orange on the left of the image is light bleeding over from the city (darn orange lights!)
And yes, that's the real color of the moon. For the very same reason the sun goes red at sunset, light traveling at an oblique angle to the atmosphere, also applies to the sun's light reflecting off the moon. I know you've all seen the "red" moon rising, same thing for a moon setting.
Edit - make the ther "other" left side.

I'll try to explain how I see it. When the moon is close to either moon rise or moon set, the sun rays that light up the moon go through the earth's atmosphere before it its the moon. This is what, in my opinion, creates that orange glow. It's the same phenomena that happens at sunset or sunrise.
