Hi Stephen,
Excellent idea and a great execution.
The contrast between the stars and the planes are funny. The reflection of the plane is remarkable.

Nice shot Stephen;

Like your other one, I like how you captured the light trails from the airplanes. Nice colors, I am impressed how you manage to catch the stars so vividly.

All the best,
- Dan

Good Evening Stephen. This photo is very nice and crisp and clear. I love the clarity in the sky here and the deep tones of sunset while the jets above dot the sky with their flashing lights. Good work here Stephen.

Hi Steve,
I like the unique sight you've captured here; it really does look like UFOs; the reflection is wonderful as well. I'm not the best critic for noise, but it looks so clean and sharp that the colors seem transparent; I see that everyone else agrees.

I like the deep, saturated color in this, and the fact that you can clearly see the stars. The sharpness is incredible. I seem to recall one of your earlier posts with these approaching planes - it's a very interesting effect. Great work Stephen!

Hola Stephen.
Both pictures the UFO Trails I and II are very good, in this one you gave more space to the reservoir and the reflection is much better, the string of lights from the airplanes are also reflected on the water and less striking in the sky if compared with the first one, something new here is the solitary light very well reflected in the right side of the picture, this didn't appeared in the first picture. Anyway both pictures are very well captured, with good POV, sharpness and nice colors. Great composition.
Well done, TFS.

Hi Stephen

Wonderful sharpness, color & reflections, with a superb warm vs cold color opposition between the orange & blue. Tfs!

I like both UFO shots but prefer this one for the extra space given over to reflections. (a favourite element of mine)I like the fact we can see the stars and what a good job you did on noise reduction.

Hello Stephen. It's good to see your work again. I love the nice reflections here, and those little trails of lights are fascinating. You may want to straighten your horizon, though. Lovely tones and colors!

Hej Stephen,
Great view again with gorgeous colours in the sky. Also the dark clouds work great and I find the addition of the trees at the left hand side also very good. Apart from the trails in the sky, is the reflected trail in the water also a wonderful detail. Very good work!
Hilsen,
Lars

Une prise originale Stephen,
il fallait y penser, on sait que les spots clignotent sur les jets, donnant cet effet spécial avec ce long temps de pose.
Les couleurs sont magnifiques et les lumières nocturnes bien rendues.
Best regards.
Daniel.

Hi Stephen,
I remember having seen the previous post, this is beautiful as well. The light is almost magical with all those passing streaks of light helped by your 8 sec exposure.

Hi Steve,
I agree this one shows more of the nice reflection. That being said it is fairly similar to the previous one. As far as the PP is concerned you did a great job and the result looks very clean on my screen with lovely colors. Do you do everything in DxO ?
Have a nice day,
Jean-Yves

Bonjour, mon ami Stephen,
Pluie d'étoiles, pluie d'objets non identifiés, pluie céleste. L'ensemble dégage une merveilleuse impression de sérénité et de beauté.
Une très belle réussite.
Amitiés.

Hi Stephen
Good close encounter of the third kind and very nice twilight.
I appreciate the colours.
I think that your camera has the possibility to avoid noise.
But your picture is very clear and sharp.
Cheers.

Hi Stephen,
Very well executed shot , clean and sharp. I can imagine that nice feeling you can get at home. I've never seen the airplanes' color this way!

Hi Stephen
Not much to add to my first critic.
I have a preference for your first one,as the lights trail are more interresting.But the reflexion of a light trail in this one add a little extra.
Well done

Hi Stephen! I like the combination of the blues and the sunset colors here. Very neat, no grains or noise whatsoever. Evenings like this, I just want to sit outside and watch the light pass away. You have a very good view from your home. rgds.

Hi Stephen,
This is another high quality post that we expect from you. Beautifully composed. I love the colors and sharpness. Sunset in NoVA has been spectacular lately, and I'm constantly thinking of a place to go and take photos. TFS. Danilo

Hi Stephen!
I like the dim light of this, overall composition is fine, and those details are nice to find - the colourful lines of light in the sky (planes)
Regards,
Seb
