This is a nice shot, technically. Nice detail and sharpness. The problem is the cut-off star. Both stars have nice, distinctive lines. The human eye follows a line in a composition (leading lines). You don't want a line that leads the eye out of the image, and that's happening at the bottom - those specular lines take the viewer out of the picture.

If you have a chance sometime, recompose the shot so there are no lines htiing the edge of the frame.

Just my thoughts.

This is really cool... I would never have thought to put it in sepia... but it's really neat that way. I like the detail here... and the framing... everything is really nice. -10-

The perfect sepia tone and bags of detail. 9

Marvellous sense of depth, and great usage of duotone. Only improvement I can think of would be to straighten the image (maybe it is level, but something about the alignment of the trees and their reflections makes it feel tilted down on the right) 8
