The shot would be great without the reflection. I really like how you got a level of detail however.

No actually, just a few hot pixels to clone out of the print - it was so cold that the sensor generated hardly any noise.

Originally posted by saiphfire: The problem with such long exposures, of course, is the ambient light. I would have liked to see you boost the contrast to make the sky a little darker, even if it meant losing definition on the boat. I'm also a little confused why the trails are different colors - are they not stars?

I tried boosting the contrast but the boat just looked tacky - and since this is basic, i couldn't manipulate the contrast selectively. The stars were actually those colours - maybe they're not stars, but they were up in the sky, whatever they were :)
