Absolutely beautiful rendering here, superb colors & clarity. Whether the voters as a group will see this as a "sky" shot (as opposed to a "boat & water" shot, is an open question. Of course the challenge says make sky a "key element", and it is that, but I am half-expecting voters to mark down images where the sky is not the main "subject". Good luck to you!

Sheesh,. that's some serious work there. So much potential, but the iredeemably blown hot spot on the right destroys it for me, I am sorry to say.

Hah, another of these! Cool! Beautifully done, though I'm not completely satisfied with the dominance of the empty parking lot in this image. Still, that's a personal issue isn't it? :-) Good luck to you!

It is very unfortunate that the snow (?) on the trees left so closely mimics the stars int he gap. I find it very disconcerting. There is also an overall, dirty yellow/sepia tint to the whites that I don't care for; but otherwise this is very striking and I like it very much.

You were utterly robbed IMHO. This was my highest vote in the challenge. Wonderful, startling piece of work. I echo what Rinac commented, this was how I saw it also. Congrats on a stunner!
