For the skeptics out there, the constellation was real, as was the reflection. I did enhance the points of light, but nothing was actually rendered.

this is lovely. the dipper is dipping into the water via its reflection. the other stars are notable by their absence. 8

Really great shot, love how the dipper really stands out, was that spot editing the other stars? Whatever the case good reflection in the water also. Nice work.

Excellent capture, specially the isolated Ursa Major Constellation and its reflection. Personally I would have placed the reflection axis in the center of the frame but thats a matter of taste. -9-

The gradual shading of blue into darkness in the sky is very nice. I love how the stars are reflected into the water.
