No actually, just a few hot pixels to clone out of the print - it was so cold that the sensor generated hardly any noise.

The problem with such long exposures, of course, is the ambient light. I would have liked to see you boost the contrast to make the sky a little darker, even if it meant losing definition on the boat. I'm also a little confused why the trails are different colors - are they not stars? |
I tried boosting the contrast but the boat just looked tacky - and since this is basic, i couldn't manipulate the contrast selectively. The stars were actually those colours - maybe they're not stars, but they were up in the sky, whatever they were :) |
Without sounding like a boffin the difference in colours from stars comes from the light which they emit due to the heat that they are burning at and as different temps means different colours of the spectrum they show as different colours so there now you know!! |

Ahhhh - my knowledge belied. I knew sensor heat was part of the noise equation but never considered ambient temps being a contributing/inhibiting factor - very cool to know!
Congrats on the top 25 finish...

| While I have nothing against stratrails, I actually dig them normally, they kindof don´t work for me for this particular photo as they compositionally draw my eye away from the boat and up to the right corner of the photo, I think I would have preferred it if you somehow would have had only still stars in this one but otherwise unaltered. Still above average in the challenge so I voted a 6. |

| This is an extraordinary photo. Getting the details to show with those star trails is amazing. 10. |
