You'd have to be a lunatic (pun also intended) to get sick of comet shots, Brad. All great photos, I like the last one the best because it is more contrasty with a darker sky.
I like the shot with the shore in the near foreground, it provides a nice sense of scale, also the silky smooth colour tones seem to balance everything out, in my opinion anyway.
Thoroughly enjoyed this set -- particularly image #1. The colours in that image are particularly soothing. Contrasty compared to where the images were taken from.
