I've been playing with this pic, which I generally like -- though not sure I've got it just right.
Nikon Z5; Samyang 14mm f/2.8 lens (Pentax Mount with Pentax to Z adapter) -- wide open (f/2.8); ISO 8000; Exposure 25 Seconds.
A number of Lightroom Edits -- most significant in Noise Reduction. I can provide if helpful.
Thanks in Advance.

Beautiful result, Ken. If you want more technical comments, you should post the photo in "Download" (Check "store original" and "Attachment" when posting).

That's a really nice atmospheric shot. If it was mine I'd try darkening the top and bottom left hand corners a smidge and maybe extend the darkening along the top edge a bit. I would also try lightening the shadows on the right a little, especially those closest to the centre.

Wonderful shot! The only thing I noticed us that the shoreline seems to tilted to the lower right. May just be an illusion. Otherwise, it's a wall hanger!

While working out the respective lightness values, keep in mind that reflections are always darker in nature than their direct twins.

Thank you, I'll do that.
Very nice! I assume you were shooting for astrophotography. In addition to other suggestions, you might try a bit shorter exposure, as you have a little star trail beginning. I've used that lens on my Z's and had luck down to about 18-20 sec and 3200 ISO. The rule of 500 is getting down to about Rule of 300 with today's sensors. 8k is getting you a lot of noise in the rocks.
You might also try posting in the Astrophotography section for suggestions on landscapes at night.

Beautifully done. I am bothered by the star reflections. If it were my picture, and its not I would remove the the star reflections and find a wall to hang it on
