Many thanks to Deryk Baumgartner and Serdar Ugurlu, who I met at Kinderdijk.
They told me they where going to do some nightshots later and asked me to join.
I didn't even come close to what those guys can do.

This is such a fantastic shot! I know the horizon has been mentioned before, so I'm gonna leave that alone, but dude, you nailed it - congrats again on your blue!!! WTG!!! I'm really happy for you!
EDIT: Having been to Kinderdijk before myself, I think you captured its essence beautifully. Such a magnificent locale. Great job!
WOW, you were quick to tell me by pm you didn't like my comment on your photo. Well, I don't like nasty pm's, so I deleted it from the server.
Remains the fact that I don't like crooked horizons. Just a matter of opinion. As I said before, it's a beautiful mill.
By the way: I really don't care about numbers, therefor a 6+ average doesn't mean a thing to me.
But...despite that I stick to my own opinion, I'm still a nice person, so...congrats on the ribbon.
Goooooooooooooooeeeeeed! :)
Echt wel. Zeer creatief, 1e plaats is zeer terecht.
Ik moet nog even uitzoeken hoe het zit met die vuurtoren, dat hoor je nog.
Congrats ! Excellent picture, I many time thought about going to Kindedijk but thoughti would come home with cheesy pictures, but this gives me hope :)
can u really see the stars that vividly so early into the night?
I am making a post in the forum with total explanation, outtakes and original and some links to even better photo's then this one. Please check back soon...
Woohoo... I was one of your 10's. Glad to see you got the blue. Beautiful image. The colors are superb. And capturing the stars like that is the clincher on a knockout performance.
I did not vote this challenge, but I did glance through the thumbnails and this one immediately caught my eye as a ribbon. Congrats! An excellent picture.
You have probably already received heaps of comments about the horizon. I think that is the only thing that prevents this from being perfect. But in my books I still am in awe of it. 10.
WOW! this is simply amazing!! the cars subtract from the photo a bit but i know theres nothing you could've done about that. I am almost positive this will recieve a ribbon! 9
Pretty colors. I would have preferred the full reflection be visible, if possible. Or maybe a little more foreground, shoreline if that's all there was just outside the frame there. That plant on the left side seems a little out of place, but if there was some foliage all along the base of the image it might have been nice. I don't know, I guess it depends what the actual location was like. Hopefully you did the best you could with what was there. :) It's very pretty, regardless. I'd love to know what your settings had to be to get both that color, and the stars!
very wonderful job! there are a few distractions like the foreground plants and the house[?] lights to the left, but the mill is so beautiful you almost don't notice anything else.
Damn is that cool! I like it the way it is, but the horizon ahs a bit of a til to the left, and I would have LOVED to see the whole reflection! 9 anyhow! I was just nit-piking! Best I ahev seen yet!
STARRY NIGHT
