I set up to shoot the Milky Way over the Pacific Ocean and caught this view of the moon setting. I was standing on the shoulder of the Pacific Coast Highway.
Specific Feedback Requested
Looking at color balance and cropping feedback. There was a highway service truck a few hundred feet to my left with flashing yellow lights the entire time I was there and I am not sure if I corrected this out or not.
Technical Details

I wish you had more sky and less at the bottom. I would completely tone down the bright lit up rocks on the left side as it takes away from the nice moon set and water.
Sky , stars and moon look great and you handle the iso very well.
I appreciate your comments, I was set up for another image originally and didn’t want to reposition, I can try to brush down the light on the rocks as opposed to doing any other color adjustments, maybe crop in from the sides as removing some of the bottom of the image may unbalance it top to bottom.
