I took me a bit to realize they were tree! we don't see much like this here in CT. Anyway, like Rod, I do like the focus on the sky here rather than the trees.

Like the reflections here especially with forward projecting building on the left.

This one for me, too for tis uniqueness. Love the tall palms stretching up to the heavens, they are well placed here .... Nice clarity on the stars.

Leaning a tad downhill to the right but that could be the heat
Certainly gives us a good idea of the resort setting, although my mind's still struggling with the thought of all that desert nearby.

This gets second prize from me. I'm liking the colours, and your composition. That line of taller, brighter grass at the edge of the mown strip works well to bound the image and lead the eye around a bit. Nice reflections and starbursts and a couple more stars. We'll make an astrophotographer of you yet!

This one for me, easily. Usually this sort of shot is chokkers with trees. This is unusual in that the sky dominates, with quite a few stars, and that's where the focus is. Nice light/dark foliage pattern in the palms too. Daring to be different - winner!

the light sure is lovely, especially on the rows of the tires.

Agree with Rod. You master the lighting so well. It's also self explained.

Nice memory shot. I always here positive things about the foreign student exchange program and students themselves.

Another difficult into-the-light shot but you've pulled it off with your usual aplomb. Again, you could transfer this image out here - so like many of our smaller regional tyre centres.
