This is beautiful, Kah. The soft illumination on the dock provided just enough light. The silhouettes work well here. I would probably prefer more blue in the sky, but I know it is not uncommon for the colors to turn out like this after a long exposure and it is still quite nice. Well done.

Exquisite light control; this really sings when viewed in a dark room. The composition comes together really well too.

Great shot! I kind of wish this was wider-angle or perhaps vertical so you could get the North Star and full star circles in the shot. But it's very nice as is.

This is very nice! I really like how there is just enough light to light the dock a bit. Interesting and enjoyable to look at. It has been a long time since I did a 1 1/2 hour exp. Might have to try it again after seeing this.

Interesting combination of subtlety and Wow! I'm impressed by the clear image after that long an exposure.

Great shot here! I think I'd like to see the dock a bit brighter to compliment the sky more...
