Prescott Park steel sculpture Portsmouth, NH

This is my third image in the series, "Images On The Edge". My intent was to emphasize the mysterious appearance of this sculpture. Depending on how the image was adjusted it either looked like the monolith from 2001 A Space Odyssey or something apocalyptic.
No pixels were injured in the shooting of this image. Everything you see is the result of a long exposure. The light in the lower right corner is on a boom in the Navy Yard about 1/2 mile away and is neither lighting up this sculpture, nor the sky. What you see is clouds being lit from behind by the moon. The shot was positioned to give the appearance that it was the light from the Navy Yard doing all the lighting.
The light on the sculpture is coming from a much closer light directly behind it.
