Full moon over Silicon Valley highway

Today's full moon rise was scheduled to be at a 125º heading when at 2º altitude. I looked up on the map where a nearby freeway would line up in the same direction, and identified Highway 280 in Cupertino, California. I headed to the Wolfe Rd overpass, and waited for the moon to rise. This is take two, yesterday I took a full moon over highway shot at dusk.

I processed a balanced and a photographic HDR photo from a RAW exposure, blended them selectively, and carefully adjusted the color balance and curves. I welcome and appreciate constructive comments.
