I know this could probably do with some foreground interest, but I just liked the mood & colours

love the mood of the colors. unsure if the horizon is straight or not. would have cropped the lower left dark thing and eliminated the bit branches left.

I like this a lot. You're right about the mood amd colours - thats what its all about. I also like the lone star top right, a nice touch. I agree with Michael about the horizon. There is an unmistakeable slope from right to left which can be simply fixed in a second or two. Having said that though I like your image a lot.

And that would be Venus, top right?

Very clean looking, Steve. I agree that cropping the bottom and a bit on the left would improve it. There is no useful foreground detail (and that doesn't hurt this image) so get rid of those hangers on. There is some barrel distortion on the horizon waterline. Best wishes.

Who needs a foreground?

This works nicely as a minimalist composition - I agree with the others about removing the distractions in the bottom left.
