    I like it Brent. You might could bring out a little more detail in the sun and the great star effect you got. But I think it's a great picture as is. Well done. The composition is very good.

    I like it also. It has dramatic lighting and the composition is classic. The only thing I'd do is crop out some of the bottom cause there's no detail there, and it might therefore be stronger without it.

    Good shot, Brent. Superia was always a good film, but try Kodak UC line sometime. Very fine grained and scans very well.
    i like this, but i agree with GB on cropping the bottom not only because of the dark area but because the horizon cutting the photo in half bothers me a bit here and cropping the bottom will also deal with that. Only suggestions, of course. Still a fine shot as is.

    I too want to crop some off the bottom. Even that isn't going to get the horizon as low as I would like in the frame (needs more sky).
