that is some cool sky - the stars seem so evenly dispersed across the image - i just wish the foreground were a bit sharper in focus - but that mist in the lower left is very cool!

These stars look so evenly spaced that they look artificial. I think the foreground focus is a bit problematical - it's neither really in or out of focus. Wonderful colours though.

While I like the fantasy concept, the artificial "look" of the homogeneous stars, in front of the clouds, is a major distraction for me. (7)

At least you didn't call it "Starry, Starry Night" ;-) Beautiful image, very delicate looking.

The stars look a bit fake to me (sorry) and I wish it were a bit sharper.

The reason I question this is that the stars look like they are over the top of the clouds...they don't look natural to me...

I am not questioning the veracity of the image, just that it doesn't look right somehow
