 Depending on how you look at it, might have been the photo I should have entered. It's closer to the dpc expectation of postcard pretty = good photo. But I think it's boring and blah, compared to my actual entry.

This was taken within minutes of a downpour. Those hills in the background disappeared and the boats were in thick fog by the time I composed the next shot. The fog might have had a neat effect, but the rain eliminated the reflections on the water and the photos were not as appealing. Plus my camera was getting wet.

It was f/22 (details are listed above) but maybe it needed a longer exposure time to really make the starburst happen? I had it on aperture priority, and it exposed it for 0.6 seconds and yes, with tripod. And actually the starburst are there, though hard to see in the 640 pixel version. Definitely not as dramatic as some photos I've seen. The fog may have been a factor in that too - the air wasn't nice and clear between me and those boats.

Horizon is parallel but no matter what I do this picture looks like it's tipping to the right to me. It was one of the reasons I didn't care for it too much.

This is a great reflection on a moody piece .. glad to see the horizon is parallel to the frame. I think the shot is slightly underexposed, but some levels and dodging/burning could fix this. Next time, bring along a tripod and use a small aperture (higher f-number like f/22 for example) to get the "starburst" effect on the small points of light. I don't know why, but this transforms a flat shot into an interesting one. Lots of potential here -- thanks for sharing!

Edit: some spelling
