I think this was way underappreciated! I had it at 10 and feel it should've been in the top 10!

Awesome view! I've not seen a star-field captured quite like that before. Looking forward to reading about your technique.

Hi, Cory. This place is starting to look familiar. Amazing how a long exposure makes night look like day. If not for the title and the stars in the sky, I wold have thought this to be late afternoon. How the heck does this body of water avoid drying up in this part of the country?

Interesting viewpoint. I'm curious to know how this was done. I don't care for the vignette at all.

Nice but somewhat unbalanced, may be something in the foreground would make it more interesting or use portrait instead of landscape
