Terrific extended image capturing numerous meteors, their reflections and, as icing, the Milky Way. The orange glow over the hills, also reflected, adds depth of time. Elicits the feeling of a flurry of action amidst eternity.
Is this Parker Lake in Arizona? If so, and even if not, it brings back fond memories of gallivanting across the country in my early twenties, searching out this isolated dot on the map. Still can't believe that I was able to hitchhike to and then out of there. Thank you for that.

Lighting is really good here, but the lopsided composition just doesn't work for me. Shift it left and you're in my top 3. As is, 6.

Lovely night sky photo, especially with the water reflections. You even caught a glimpse of the Andromeda Galaxy between the top center trails. The bad news is that there aren't any Perseids in it. Those streaks are almost certainly satellite trails (the one at top left could be an airplane). The radiant for this meteor shower is at the top edge of this frame along the Milky Way, so any Perseids would trace back to that point. If you look through your other shots, you may find some Persieds, although with such a wide field all but the brightest ones will look like hairlines or a very thin teardrop shape. Any meteor trails at top center would be very short since they're shooting directly at you.

Having seen an outtake, I know who took this photo and won't vote on it. Given the tiny pool of entries and DPC's penchant for dark, moody scenes, there's a good chance you reel in a red (or even blue) ribbon in the Perseid Meteor Shower challenge without capturing a single Perseid meteor. Well played!
