beautiful colours and wonderful comp, Basil... :toast:
I only wonder if you can bring out slightly more detail in the fg or maybe make a slight crop from the bottom below the boat

I agree 1/3 of a stop of brightness at the bottom might be the ticket here. Lovely long exposure.

Here you go, slightly brightened. I don't want to overdo it, to keep noise in check, and also to preserve the "nightly" reality. :smile:

I'm new to night shots. Did you use star stacking software of some sort on this? Or is 30 minutes enough to do it?

This is a single 30 minute exposure, not stacking required. Some people prefer stacking, but it worked well here without (it was pretty cold, so the sensor noise was not excessive in spite of the long exposure).
