Love the tone and the processing. Really love how the shot is framed by the door.

nicely framed repeating forms, and nice detail in the foreground shadows

Thou I like the HDR on this shot (some push things to far) there seems to be a lot of foreground, I know you wanted the door in it...but it is fine with less foreground

The mute colouring gives this an antique quality that works well with this image

Update to my previous comment-- congratulations on winning. I'm glad to see DPC finally recognize a proper astrophoto. I am quite surprised that it was voted into first place, only because astrophotos usually tank on this site-- it truly is an excellent image. I'm sure it also helps to hide the only-10-subs noise by shrinking it to 640x480 :)

The FSQ 106 is an outstanding scope, and color me jealous of your EM200 mount! That is a serious amount of money though, it ought to produce awesome images :)

I like the colours here, but the skewed composition is a little distracting. Perhaps using the door as a more centred frame would be a better choice?
