 Long exposure practice of working shrimp boats at dock for the night. Thankfully I have a sturdy tripod, as it was very, very windy. Because the lights on the boats are mercury vapor, they resulted in a greenish tinge that I corrected in PS. I tried to correct it using a pink-tinted filter, which made the sky very pretty but only had a minor effect on the boats, oddly enough. Used very small aperture to get star effect with lights, as I don't have a star filter.

I'm very much surprised by the score - I love the quietness and softness of this. Nice work with PS, and I do like that a faint tint of the greenish color remains on the boats to set them apart just a bit.

Hey, your commenters LOVED it! :) I like how the reflection looks different from the real boats.

7 - Nice colors and composition. Looks like it needs a whisker up on the right.
