Beautiful ocean image. IMO, the ocean overwhelms your subject. Still think it is a nice image.

Nice use of foreground composition. Nice trails, sharp. Entire scene well exposed. Fantastic photo.

Beautiful, but I would have preferred it without the chunk of ice on the left side. It makes the foreground too heavy and getting to the star trails is an after thought. It also has a pretty strong shadow so I think I would have moved that ice chunk a little further into the scene and used is as part of a leading line.

The horizon is more centered than usual, but understandably necessary for this type of photo and composition so it works here...despite what SOME might say during the challenge. :)

I might be wrong, but I'm going to guess that this is William due to the star trails, story telling composition with foreground, middle and background elements and the snowy mountains.

Overall a very appealing, sharp and beautiful image.

I will give this a strong 8 for now with a possible bump to a 9 later in the week. Nice work.

The reflection, the textures, the movement, and the pastel-like quality of the colors, breathtaking.

These are always so fascinating for people like me who have never seen them in person.
