Dear brother in art; I want to congratulate you on this most deserving win. Your work is impeccable, and so much artistic creation goes into each piece. This one is no exception. The brilliant colors grab the viewer and draws all of us to come be a part of this moment. The galaxy comes to the surface of the earth and embraces us. Beautiful, my friend.

I am very happy you liked it.Thank you for your time in looking and writing the wonderful review (the rating is humbling). Your support is very much appreciated.

What a fun piece for the contest.....and a good contender. The initial impact is that wonderful sky with the explosion of colors and stars. Photography and post-processing techniques at it's best. Nice touch with the lone walker and the reflections in the sand in the foreground. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing!

This is absolutely stunning, took my breath away when i saw this revision. With the colors this bright it really makes the cosmos seem so big and grand and the person so tiny in comparison, great great work.

Reckon that person out there must have felt at least a touch lonely at some point out there in your very nice entry. Your nice composition nicely captures the vastness of nature. Sharpness and exposure are good. Well done and good luck!

Very nice image, well conceived and executed. The colors are beautiful. I wish the silhouetted figure was somewhat larger. Ti is the full focus of the image purpose and almost gets lost in the image. Well seen.
