The full moon rises over Lake Michigan as rolling waves wash over the remnant of a pier.

Added to the "Cream of the Crop" pool as my best shot of 2006.

Magical capture. The lighting and soft water are great.

Is this a blend of two photos? I would imagine the moon moving quite a bit to get water this soft. Nonetheless, great image!
