Montenegro - Crna Gora - Boka Kotorska - Bay of Kotor - Full Moon

The first time I visited Montenegro was 15 years ago and the memory of amazing nature stayed with me all those years. Country that is actually smaller than Kuwait (I was very surprised!) has some of the Europe most amazing nature and some of the loveliest coast with crystal clear water, wonderful historical towns and villages. This photos was captured under full moon in Kotor Bay which is UNESCO Heritage site.

The Bay of Kotor - Boka Kotorska - Бока Которска - in south-western Montenegro is a winding bay on the Adriatic Sea. The bay, sometimes called Europe's southernmost fjord, is in fact a submerged river canyon of the disintegrated Bokelj River which used to run from the high mountain plateaus of Mount Orjen. It is an important tourist attraction in Montenegro.

I have already taken quite a few photos of a Full Moon, but never I got such a result. It must have been due to atmospheric conditions. I really like this unusual result. I wonder what your feedback will be.

    strange effect, some like this happens with very closed diafragmas but your exposition was f4, well is the same, the picture is fantastic with lovely blues. More than 30 s with f4 with asa 320 for a full moon overexposed the moon greatly, maybe some physical trick happens inside your wide angle lens. Congrat

    Truly spectacular moon, this photo is even more appealing than one you posted on FB. City lights and few stars complete this exceptional image.

    Very inspiring!
