Fritz thanks for your comment. We had almost full moon. It's impossible to take videos in pitch black conditions and my friend/colleague Fortunato (several times awarded in the most important nature contests in the world) loves to take images during moonlit nights. Even with a super ISO monster like A7SII you need moon in the sky. In this case I was shooting time-lapse and this one was the sequence I shot before taking the photo:

| Wonderful shot. I love the rich colours. It's amazing how they can develop out of a night shot! Top 3. |

| I really love this high contrast image and the texture in the sand is quite dynamic. Bumping up. |

| This is my top ranked image in this challenge. I expect this will ribbon. The sand and water detail is fantastic. The stars add a lot, too. If I could change one thing, it would be the location of the horizon line. At middle/center you create a dilemma for the viewer, as to whether to look up or down. Not an easy thing to do, but if you could have included all of this with a horizon line away from dissecting the scene so precisely. |

| Perfect! Beautiful sky, serene landscape. There is so little in this photo which keeps it minimalist, but what is there has impact. A 10 from me. |

| REally Really love this shot. The one thing that keeps me from scoring it higher is minimilism says to me minimal color, minimal subject matter, mostly negative space and this image is so rich in color. Love this image all around. |

Too bad you called this image surreal or we would have told you this.
