I'm hoping to leave comments on as many photo's in this challenge as possible... out of (currently) 1120 images, I gave 98 of them an 8. Your image was one of those 98, placing you well within the top 10% for this challenge.

Lots of starry night skies in this challenge but I love the duo-tone effect of this image. The stars stand out beautifully from the sky, and the water looks so tranquil. Nice shot.

Good luck for a strong finish in this challenge.

The stars look nice and I like the lights in the forest that seem to reflect back up at them.

Perfect time of day. I love the twilight colors and the stars. Very nice mirror river or lake surface.

Beautiful shot, and I am glad you chose to keep the colours as they are... a lot of the time you see people change this to blue, but I like the natural colours here.

Nice sky capture, in spite of the orange glow of light pollution. The stars look 3-D.

the trees and their reflections create nice leading lines and bring the eye from one side to the other

tough shot... maybe a light pollution suppression filter would have helped some (?)
 03/13/2009 04:01:34 PM
visually pleasing beautiful image, but lacks a subject to fixate the eye
  Photographer found comment helpful.

I love the deep shades of color. Some may think it too dark, but I think that really makes this shot stand out. Very powerful.

Very subtle and beautiful. Love that you can see the stars, and the glow at the horizon is like that of some great city in the distance.
