6 second handheld makes this amazing, even without considering anything else. If I saw a print of it, I might be a bit troubled by the shake on the trees but at this size it not only doesn't bother me but actually adds something to the photo. Almost an unnatural DOF, gives that first glance a pleasant kick.

It's a beautiful photo. The reflection is not the classic type (if there is such a thing) and I really think that adds to this photo.

Nice shot... could be better taken from a tripod to eliminate camera shake on trees.

Nice reflection of the moon however just to soft for my tastes.

Nice image, but the blurriness in the trees takes away the impact of the contrast in the upper part of the picture.

Very dramatic composition. It is a very dark image (which I like in this case). Did you make any outake variations with a larger DoF to bring the tree line into focus? Congradulations on this image.

Looks like there was some camera shake or fog or something. If the tree line and sky were sharp and clear this would be a 10.

Looks like it is windy on the water giving it a shear look and the trees in the background are soft in contrast. I like the color of the night sky. The moon looks as though the camera moved a tiny bit because of the unnatural oval shape which I have done myself taking pictures of it. I would prefer to see the edges of the trees against the sky more defined.
