Very good idea, I like it, but maybe an outshot from inside would have more impact.

The whole picture is too dark. That makes hard even to recognize something

The whiteness of the telescope is glaring in comparison to the rest of the photo. Perhaps lightening it up would help?

good one, maybe just a white very soft light would show more texture on the observatory surface, very soft shadows, just enough to make it REALLY good. and a few stars would help :)

is that a telescope? It's hard to tell. good idea though. Could perhaps use some cropping and less distraction from what's in the foreground.

I'm not sure if it's my monitor or not, other images seem fine, but this one seems a tad dark. I upped the brightness to see it better. This is my favorite so far, I just wish it was a little more exposed. It also looks a bit oversharpened (telescope is jagged). Like I said, it's my fave, so a ten from me if it were brighter. So I'm giving it a 9. Good luck.
