I can tell myself a whole story in this image. I would have liked it a bit better, if it were cropped at the edge of the log. Even so, 9 from me.

Dreaming

I assume the soft focus is to support the dream idea. However, it isn't soft enough to say dreams to me. It comes across, to my eye, as out of focus. I do give you credit for trying something different with your image.

Looks like the mojo is back, and on a regular basis. Another example of why not to quit. So very glad to see you get the results you have been looking for.

I like the way the pier seems to stretch almost all the way to Alcatraz.

Critique Club Review:

Color Saturation and Hue - colors are beautifully rendered both in saturation and white balance.

Brightness and contrast: excellent job of keeping detail in the shadows, and not blowing out the highlights.

Focus and depth of field: tack sharp image, depth of field is the full depth of the image which is necessary for this scene.

Subjective: this image took the red ribbon, so any negatives are nit picking at best. I find it fascinating that even at 20 seconds, star trails start to form. This leaves me wondering if some viewers saw it as softness, rather than the movement of plant earth? I love the rendering of the mountains, but the brightness of the sky above, appears to have erased some of the stars. The lighter sky also competes with the mountain, just a little bit, for attention. When I look away and look back, my eye goes first to the light area, and then to mountains and stars.

Summary - this is an excellent image. I had to work to find anything to suggest. I would happily hang this on my wall.
