Congratulations Jonathan! Very deserving shot indeed.

And thanks David for the detailed reasoning behind your choices. Interesting to hear someone else's take on the photos. Regarding my foreground being dark, I actually darkened some parts of it in post. The trees and small bridge along with some of the mist on the water was actually lit up by a passing car and I thought it looked too un-natural for my tastes so I darkened it considerably. Without the lone passing car though, all the foreground would have been pretty much black (just a hillside silhouette). This location (a campground) is VERY dark on a moonlit night and there is simply not enough ambient light to show on the trees, water or hills. As for the startrails on the water, I didn't darken those at all, but there was a mist on the water which inhibited the reflections somewhat. Appreciate the feedback though!
