So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.
 
 Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.
 
 Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

 My take on the shots that BobG and I got last night.  Click for larger. This does not have the detail of Bob's and has a lot of noise but I like the mood, the halo around the moon and the sky.  Something a bit different.  The presetup test shot, or the crap I started with before pp.          Just playing with a Photoshop plugin.CraigLifes journey is not to arrive at our grave in a well preserved body but, rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting, "Wow what a ride."

 Techinically difficult shot! did you take multi exposures? Bob must have used a neutral density filter.
 I do like the mood here though...

 The first is very nice and by far the best.

 The first reminds me of monsters teeth, and I don't mind the noise I think it works in context. In the pano, I'd like a tad bit more sky.

 Thanks for the comments guys.
 I am going to try some different pp with the second one later next week when I have some free time.

 I really like the first!!! I love the colours and the whole 'feel' of the image...the lighting makes it seem surreal in some respects. The daylight shot is rather plain and snapshot like IMHO. Thanks for sharing and keep up the good work.
