Well seen. Like the foreground reeds leading in the frame. :toast:

Always a splendid image from you Alex. Don't think you can really top that last one though. I like the simple foreground here. I always seem to have issues getting the stars to appear in a reflection, do you have any suggestions?

Alex, I have been enjoying your work. To me it seems like you are improving your art.
I like this from top to bottom. The foreground seems especially clean and elegant.
Perhaps a bit unnatural to see reflected star light under these conditions, but I really like it. Magic!

Even without the stars this would be nice. I find myself captivated by the mountain and its reflection.

Love this! Winner all the way around. :toast:

I don't buy the literalness of the stars in the water, but think it does a great job nevertheless representing the scene.

Another very impressive image Alex. Lovely light. I know you wanted a FG element, but I find the grass a little distracting. Love the reflected stars.

Great detail in the forefront, and delicate colors in the background.
