So other-worldly! Wonderful forms in the fore-ground! Unearthly green rope and sand! Nice capture of the moon, stars and jet! Wide angle really accentuates the swing of rope and curve of the earth. Minor distraction with the water under the rope on the left...would have cloned over it with beach or cropped the image in from the left to keep the eye from escaping the frame. I really like this though---so pleasantly weird!

I'm not sure that the rope adds anything to this shot.

I find the rope a bit distracting. I see what you were going for, but it doesn't quite work for me. It's almost like two seperate photos put together.

I like the lower half, the rope, sand, water and shadows. The upper half feels too busy with the lights compeeting for attention.

The foreground is a bit to dominating. I think if you had cropped it more from the bottom, the very nice vista above would have been brought out, it deserves that. I did it right here on the monitor, and it works.

Strange this green color ... rope s ok green but the sand is to much.

I like the clarity that you achieved here, but the green hue of the rope and beach confuses my little mind. Was it a colored flash gel, ot setting the WB to capture the background scene? Either way, nicely composed and exposed.

IMO it would have looked better without the rope because it distracts from the beauty of the lake. But then again I suck.

The background looks really cool. I am not really sure what to make of the green ropes and sand though.

The rope and green light in the foreground is really distracting. My eyes want to look at the rest of the shot but keep drawing back to the green. I like the streek of light in the sky.
