Superstition Mountains by moonlight, March '05. Yes, this was taken the same evening as my previous "Sonoran Starlight" submission. I couldn't resist submiting this for "Best of 2005," even though I tried valiantly to find something different, LOL.

Congratulations on your great image and placement in this challenge. Just goes to show that Arizona is a great place to take pictures. You notice that Tina Faust was hot on your heels with her Antelope Canyon image?
nice long exposure, I like this, light ok, blacks need work but not disturbingly, whites just in, great texture, great dof, excellent flow, excellent comp, overall have a print available
Shots like this make me crazy. Can such talent really exist? Can you really capture a shot like this? Yes you can. I'm guessing this was moonlit, and I'm suspicious that I know the photographer too. Whatever, this is a stunner. One of my few 10s for this challenge. I'll be looking this one up right after voting ends - if it's not already on the front page, of course...
Oh wow, this is refeshing. This is a gorgeous image, love how many stars can bee seen. Why is it called Moonlight Sonata (beside being a song) when there is no moon in the shot. Why not Starlight Sonata?
What an excellent shot. Really like the lighting effect on various parts of the image, especially the wild flowers in foreground. Good job and Good Luck!
Wow! Really nicely done! I appreciate the technical superiority of this photography - and hope that other voters will realize how difficult it is to create such a shot. Good luck!
Nice but the landscape is a bit too dark for my taste but I have done this so I know you have to stay within 2 minutes to "freeze" the stars but still, that is my opinion. Still very nice though, don´t get me wrong, I would have been proud to have taken this myself.
And a sky full of stars....this photo is breathtaking. Love the rich deep hues seen in the sky, the craggy mountains, and the foreground with beautiful floral ground cover. This is the sort of composition that draws one into the beauty of the scene such that we take a seat and just gaze upon the scenery.
