Whispering Solitude...

If you must speak.... whisper.

I like the composition, Frank. I wonder if I would like the image better if it were brighter in entirety or at least just enough brighter in the bottom to reveal some of the detail.

<whisper>Well Mike, let's see if a lighter sea gives us more to see. </whisper>



Which is better?

[Mike Buckley]

The second one is much better for me, Frank. That's true at the small and larger sizes.

<w>Most certainly 2.</w>

Thanks Mike and Bobo. I was concerned that it was too dark for most folks, but for me, it captures the essence of the night in a situation where there are no prominent man made lights. However, if you look really close you'll see several lights on the horizon.

Frank,

I assume you have software that will make it really easy (2 or 3 seconds at the most) to get rid of the man-made lights.

Oh yes. I try to keep the image as close to SOOC as I can unless there is something objectionable. In this case you almost need to pixel-peep to see the lights so for me they don't detract from the feeling of the image so I left them in.
