I'm surprised this entry didn't ribbon given the unique composition and difficulty of pulling off such a shot. Well done!

Well deserved ribbon! While the foreground could have used some light painting, this was the only entry that really made use of the scene around the moon.

The thumbnail image of this is a really impressive capture of a tornado.

Sometimes you capture a shot for a challenge that you know just isn't fair. This is one of those times.

Wow, 13 years, and your last ribbon was a photo of stars, too. Obviously you should get outside more often. I'm impressed that you dared to venture into Pixinsight's deep, muddy waters.

Here's a little trick you might find useful... in Photoshop, select Color Range > Highlights with a pretty big fuzziness value to catch most of the stars. Select > Modify > Expand by 4 or 5 pixels, then hide the selection. Choose Filter > Other > Minimum with a radius of about 0.4 pixels (preserve roundness), and see if that helps.

Baby you are a shooting star.
