Hey there from the Critique Club
Camera Work/Technical: I like your focus, including a great depth of field that goes beyond the clouds and nicely exposes the stars in focus. I also like the time of exposure here, catching the ever so slight drifting of the clouds.
Lighting: You did a very nice job in an often difficult, low light condition. You were able to keep the stars and the cloud highlights from losing detail, while also capturing a long enough exposure to paint a very nice red coloring on the cliff.
Composition/Content: This is the one area that I do believe that the original was better. This one is interesting from a minimalist viewpoint, but I find myself feeling like the cliff was accidentally chopped off. I'd really like to see more of it, as the color complements the sky very nicely.
My Opinion: The two shots are vastly different in content and execution. I, against the opinion of the voters, do not see this one as far superior to the original. Rather, I believe that this one scored pretty close to its deserved potential, whereas the initial entry was actually much better than the voters gave it credit.

| raise contrast and gamma, and it should get a much stronger "night" feel, cause until u see that stars, it looks like day |

| Wow! This is spectacular! The subject is clearly that aMAZING sky with all the stars sprinkled throughout. . .but the cliff and the barren tree are the perfect thing to add bold interest. This is great, and one of my favorites so far!! |
