Left my house an hour before the movie started to go outside and capture the sky. Went for a short drive outside Reykjavik to capture this shot, but went slightly off track driving there....This is my first competition after being a reader of this website for some time..

Thanks for all your comments. They where really helpful. Funny how you just don´t see what´s wrong with your picture until someone points it out to you. So thank you all for your help. And special thanks you Adine for showing us a better version of the photo and taking precious time to show me could points to make better photos.

Thanks Bippi

A bit too dark for my taste, however I really like the line that leads you into and out of the shot.

I love the drama of this photo - the line of the rail running along the bottom, the stars and clouds floating etheral above. However the way you have exposed it is too dark for my tastes. I would prefer to lighten the image - bring out some of the contrasts and colors - I lightened the shadows using shadows/highlights, boosted the yellow and red colors a bit in Hue/saturation, and tweeked the exposure in curves. I also reduced noise with noise ninja. I don't know what you'll think, but I like the results better...
