I think these guys are right in saying more sky would have been cool, but this is a sweet shot nonetheless! So cool to see the stars like that. We have a completely different looking night sky in the UK (obviously), and it always interests me to see what people in other countries see at night. Really cool photo

I love the blue treatment - really striking!

Like others have said, I'm not personally a fan of the centered horizon, but it's not the centered horizon specifically that I don't like - it's the dark distant mountains that frame the horizon, coupled with the dark nearby rocks in the water, that give the image a certain visual weight that's just barely OFF-center. The bottom 20-25% of the image is basically empty space.

Just my opinion.
