I like the first two! Any hint how are both moon and building in focus? Two different images stacked?

Just a small follow up on the previous answer.

The third image, with the red tower, I do believe you can see that the tower in not as crisp as the skyline in the other pictures! That was because it was actually to close for the aperture I chose. In all images I choose f6.3. Larger would mean cranking up the ISO, but the DR and pushing shades/highlight recovery are not the strongpoints of m43 so I wanted to prevent that. I exposed for the moon in this image to retain some level of detail, but that meant the tower was underexposed and I new I had to bring it back a bit in post. So I needed the lowest ISO possible.

And of course I also wanted to prevent diffraction to play a big role. With this lens at max zoom (and teleconverter) it already kicks in at f5.6.

So... a lot to consider... but with a little prepwork, and figuring stuff out before hand... you can get more than decent results.
