Good shot but almost alien in colour and structure - somehow it does not look like a sky as seen from Earth. Looks like the start of a Startrek-style warp speed jump (showing my age here).
I think that this photo really lives up to the name that it was given. I think it is truely 'brilliant' and the whole color scheme really works out. Maybe the cropping could've been a little different, but all in all, nice job!
I'm sure that in reality, that sky looked fantastic!
However, as I am seeing it now, it just looks dirty and uninteresting.
Sorry :-( , but I'd say you didn't have an easy time getting the exposure right, so well done for that.
