I was shooting this beautiful sunset at the beach by my house when Venus just popped out from behind the passing clouds at the perfect time. So I guess it's not technically a star, but hey it's close enough. Tweaked levels, contrast, saturation, etc in PSCS.

I was not able to vote on this challenge, but if I had, I probably would have given you a 6 or 7.
Wow, what a georgeous photograph. I'm dissapointed it didn't score higher. Just stunning. I love all the busy-ness in the sky and in the water. The colours are wonderful, and the bright white star does stand out well against the blue sky. I'm guessing the reason it didn't finish higher was because either the star was missed by many, or they felt it was not a strong enough element in an otherwise beautiful photo.
Great shot and keep up the good work.

At first, I wanted to vote this down. Like the sunset challenge that the winners seems focused on the seascape rather then the actual sunset, this photo looks like a photo of a sunset rather then stars. Like those 'Sunset' photo, this is excellent too. The 'Fist Star' brings it into the challenge more but what really captures my interest is that it really looks like there's a HUGE star floating on the horizon. So, I'm going with a 10 for this one.
This is a nice shot with some great colours and general good exposure. One thing that is very distracting is the object two thirds along the horizon. I can't make out what it is, which is just annoying and takes away from an otherwise good shot.
As far as meeting the challenge, I appreciate there is a star, but it feels more like "squeezing it in" to make it fit :)
Well, it's a planet, but still a great photo. I love the clouds and sunset coloring. Is that a boat, buoy or oil derrick on the horizon? I'm surprised at the bright yellow of it, and it really draws my attention.
Is that a star or a planet? LOL Just kidding. A beautiful photo, but that yellow thing on the horizon is distracting - I'm trying to figure out what it is. An oil rig maybe?
