That is a really nice glow on the leaves, Larry. I also like the lamp on
the steeple -- a nice touch that I would have probably tried to compose
out of the image as "clutter". It works here.
I can see you now, driving like some kind of madman, taking out hapless
pedestrians hither an yon trying to get to that shot before the light
disappeared.
I'd like to see what you come up with from your bracketed exposures.

The church steeple at Mission Santa Cruz is quite picturesque, and because of
that dynamic range thing, damn near impossible to photograph at night. I was
driving into Santa Cruz last night, just a touch after sundown, the sky was
glowing a pretty shade of blue, not too much darker than the steeple. From
where I first saw it, there were also some pretty clouds in the background. By
the time the stoplight had changed, I'd found a place to park etc. the sky had
already darkened past peak. I didn't have any lenses with me long enough to
photograph it from where I could put the pretty clouds in the background either.
Here's what I did manage to get:

Which I think is the better composition. Of the four attempts I posted, this is
the other likely
composition:

I did do some bracketed shots, so in theory I could do HDR on them to bring out
details.
