Location: Lake Bonney, Barmera, South Australia, after sunset
Technical and time: Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EF 16-35mm 1:2,8L II USM, tripod, long exposure, PP in PS 5.1, in April 2012
You're viewing dead gum trees by night, which have partly been inundated by Lake Bonney.
Lake Bonney is a freshwater lake located in the Riverland region of South Australia.
The town of Barmera is located on its shores. It's connected by a creek to the River Murray.
IMO, dead gum trees (Eucalyptus) are intriguing photographical objects especially when encountering them surrounded by water.
Thx so much for viewing and leaving a comment.

This is really cool. I like last-light shots with wide angle, but they often lack interesting ground-based subject matter. The tree skeletons really make this interesting. I think, though, that I would clone out the stars, especially the one appearing between the tree branches (and its reflection). There aren't enough of them to make this a good star shot, and in their sparsity they are distracting.
I like your minimalistic view here. Very nicely done, though I am not sure about that one bright star right at the trees. I think I would like it better if that wasn't right at the trees.. but maybe it's just from viewing here at the web resolution.
Love the composition - looks like an area without light pollution. Like other comments I would correct the stars - but since there are only 3 stars I would just remove the tails and change them back to stars. Dave
