Thanks! First and last one were taken from behind the cabin on the last evening in Berg-en-Dal, the second one in Talamati...

Really like that first one. Not a big fan of the others - just doesn't look natural and you see those shots all the time.

Number 2 for me. The side lighting gives it a point of difference and I like that you can see the colors in the stars.
