I took these a few weeks ago at a friends party...

These are beautiful! I love how all the stars seem to stand out.

Love the reflection of the water

2nd one I think is nicer.

Gorgeous, just to be different I like the first better then the second.

Excellent Bindii. My vote goes to the first. For me the portrait orientation accentuates the stars and clouds. Beautiful

Cheers

I like the first, I think the sky in this picture is just as important as the bottom part of the image.

great composition! love how there is just the right amount of houses and sky to create a top image!

very very nice. agree with John, the portrait orientation draws the eyes up, just great!!!

Love them! Getting the exposure right would have been the key here I imagine, and
you have really nailed it. Beautiful shots.

And - number 1 by a whisker for me.

Great shots, and the first one provides the best framing for me.

Lovely work. #2 for me. The shape of the scene running left to right works better for me in #2 whereas in #1 it looks constrained. My eyes go to the waterline, not the stars hence the second crop makes more sense. if your eyes were going to the sky then #1 makes sense. I guess this shows how much we all view (and interpret) images differently.

Gorgeous. The color of the sky, reflection, stars... perfect. The quality of the photos constantly amaze me.

i agree, the first one is a winner! but both are equally beautiful, its also refreshing to see a night shot with stars that isnt a standard start trails photo. great work

Nicely framed and more importantly imho, getting the correct exposure.
All up excellent photos.

Great shots, #1 for me. Love the expanse of star filled sky.
