This is lovely. I can scarcely recognize it as a flip and blend. It took me a while to see that the leaves are on wood. The general impression is of reflections in a pond or stream.

Tremendous colors captured here, where it would seem impossible to get this much info at this time of night/morning. Obviously a long capture (due to the boat's movement) yet the grass has remained sharp and the stars are bright and sharp as well. The flow of the clouds and the grass seem to frame the trees and stars and the composition is just excellent. I'd love to steal a trick or two on how you got the stars to pop so sharply with such great color like that. Outstanding.
