Honestly, it would be better without the lights on the mountain. Since you can't really read the 2005, they just seem wierd and out of place.

This is a stunning image. The lighting is magnificent and the stillness of the calm water just makes you want to kick back and enjoy the evening. I'm giving it a 10 even though I'd sorta like to see the lights on the mountain (and their reflections) cloned out. Great job!

Beautiful

The street scene reflected in the water is stunning, but the 2005 and the trail of lights is so small that it doesn't really add to the frame, and instead it distracts from the shot. I would have concentrated on the pretty street scene and composed out the 2005.

10 from me...good luck!

I would have skipped the mention of 2005 in lights on the mountain and focused on the beautiful reflection of the lighted village on the water. Overall this is a serene and pretty shot.

Wow, magical golden reflection here, so good, and so well done.

Beautiful colors and reflections. It's a shame the 2005 written in the mountain is really too small to add to the photo. Great job though!

I used to live Siglufjörður and I love to see photos from there. This one is just great. Gangi þér vel!

neat

I get a nice feel from this photo, I like that in the reflection you can even see the line of lights up in the mountains. I think I would have preferred that the horizon be set more on the rule of thirds, but that is only my opinion. Overall nicely done

Very nice picture, love all the lights and reflection. Hard to see the line of lights and year on hill, makes it a bit distracting. Well done.

the '2005' is not legible on the mountain. it really should be, if you're going to make specific reference to it in your title - and since it's not, I think this should have been titled differently.

A nice photo of the city shore-line.. but to really connect with your title, you needed to be much, much closer to the 2005 sign.

This is not an easy shot. Well done.

I like the composition, but would like to see the mountain in the back not so dark. I say this only because the line of lights looks like it comes from nowhere. Maybe try dodging the highlights and midtones

This is once of those shots where you just wish it could be bigger than 640 pixels! I hope you post a larger version somewhere after the challenge, its a really nice shot :)

Lovely shot, good reflection. The only distraction to me is the line of lights on top of the mountain. I understand the 2005, but what are the rest of the lights up there? I kinda think the shot would be prettier without it...but that is just my humble opinion.

I think this would make a better shot if it didn't have the lights in the mountain... just the city and the water reflecting...

When I give a photo a 10, it is because I feel it is wonderfual all the way around. Therefore, I have no real comment other than to say I gave you a 10!
