Freaky! This is an interesting combination of elements. I'm not sure they all go together but it's a very interesting graphic image. The stars look as big as the moon for a very alien effect. Nice, surreal look to this one for sure.

Not a big fan of the foreground subject matter, but that sky sure looks great.

I like the concept here but it seems too surreal with the sunset (?) on the horizon along with the density of stars. The color of the sky and hints of clouds is beautiful.

Dan, This is different and pretty cool looking. I guess I'm not a big fan of the foreground either, but that sky and the overall mood of this is very cool and very interesting!

I agree with David's comments about the sky but he sky does look very nice especially the light on the clouds. Very interesting idea though Dan.

Love the look of the sky!!! I only wish for a less distracting foreground.

It's like another planet.

Dan, this is very unique and interesting. I think the clouds work well with the starfield showing through. I'm partial to sharper stars (perhaps with a separate exposure), but I think the more diffuse look here has its own appeal. Thanks for sharing!

beautiful image. Great composition and the exposure is handled very well.

I like it; it's different. I think maybe the FG is a bit too bright for me, but I like the contrast of near vs far away. I wonder what it'd look like with the FG just a bit darker.
