| I always look for two things in a photo entry. The first, is does the photo draw the "oh my god" out of me the moment I see it. the second is, I ask myself "would I hang this on my wall?" In both cases the answer is an astounding yes! Well done. |

| Since I know the sky, I can tell that this is a decent "wide" shot. I also like the way you've caught lots of stars even though it appears to be verrrryyyy early after sunset. The fact that the lower sky is not overexposed amazes me! I'm going to have to try this one day. Solid 8 from me. |

| A wonderful image. Nice sharp silhouette. Awesome composition (a nice rule of thirds rule breaker!) Wonderful colours. My only nit is the flash of colour at the bottom left corner. Because it is so different from the rest of the image, it stands out very much and as such, is a bit distracting to me. Overall, a very good job. |

| Very nice capture of Mars, the Pleiades, and Hyades. Nice work capturing the sense of false dawn from the city lights to the east. Collapsing the horizon right to the bottom of the frame gives a great sense of wide-open-ness. I really like your use of the sillouetted phtographer/astronomer as a catch. Bummer that noise smoothing ended up cancelling out some of the fainter stars that were likely evident. But I know how the "too much noise" responses can be an incentive. |
