Florence from Giardino Bardini - Finished

I have tried to convey a moonlit night with Florence shrouded in mist, the only highlight being the reflection of the moon in the river near the bridge. I originally planned to have many lights coming through the mist in the city but I decided that it would be much more interesting and mysterious if there were no lights at all, giving it a more timeless quality in that this could be a view as if it was hundreds of years ago, the skyline essentially not having changed much since the rule of the Medici. In the end I opted for just one light in a nearby window to maximise the use of the blue/orange complementary axis.
