Ohh, very stylized and interesting shot Claudia, I really love how moody and strange the whole atmosphere is. The saturated and pink colors of the sky and the buildings really make this look apocalyptic and I love the balance between the bright moon and the citylights below. Really good sense of unity and mood with the overall yellow and warm tones to the building surfaces and window frame in the foreground. The point of view, low, and from the open window of a room looking out to the "apocalyptic" scene outside is effective in making us feel like we are right there, and something huge is about to happen. Good angles and lines leading the eye to the scene outside with the window glass open at a tight angle at the right. I might recommend using a very long depth of field (a much smaller aperture) or to get the immediate foreground in-focus since I think it would make the lines of the window frame and venetian blinds much cleaner and sharper. Although that might be difficult considering you want to meter the moonlight a certain way for this. Really excellent idea and capture though, thanks for sharing!
