Thanks for your comments kenskid and cheekymunky. I submitted the photo here even though I knew it wouldn't get a good rating - I had taken the photo even before I knew about the challenge anyway. I thought it was an interesting photo and wanted to see if others thought so as well :-).

Good shot of the station! However, the common folk will not appreciate this shot. Also, I'm sure the "Orion" reference didn't help the score. Most will not know Orion from this shot.

I like the shot overall.

This was criminally underated. As I've tried star trails a few times I can really appreciate this shot!

Sorry; even as an abstract this doesn't do anything for me. Maybe needs more contrast as a start?

I wonder if you have a static reference could give it a better idea in what you are trying to reflect in this picture.
