Lost in the stars, found in each other #11 out of 61 entries - I sure know how to get those almost, not quite there spots 😂 When I checked at 10:25 I was at 1554 and I finished at 1551 so whoever gave me that loss in the last few minutes cost me 10th 😂😉

Entry in the Desert Stargazer challenge.

About this image

This magical romantic scene shows an affectionate couple enjoying a luxury stargazing date in a remote red desert, with a vivid purple Milky Way, crescent moon, and shooting stars stretching across the dark night sky above distant mountain silhouettes. Warm golden candlelight from ornate Moroccan lanterns lights the patterned woven picnic rug, where a vintage telescope, astronomy books, and brass tea service are arranged for a cozy glamping experience. Deep warm terracotta desert tones contrast beautifully with rich indigo and violet cosmic sky hues, creating an intimate, serene, whimsical atmosphere.

Damn you are really Murphy's kid... 😅. Yah you need to be at least 1560 to be sure you will end up top 10. Did you have better win rate than 10th?

Such is life, still way better than I did. Now honestly, can't recall if I received this in a matchup and if I did if I picked it - so maybe it was my fault.

Looks like a romantic night! Sorry about 11th. 😣

52W/42L - Better win rate than 8, 9, and 10 🤪 But c'est la vie! I'm used to it by now and really wasn't super vested in this image.

Thank you! Sorry yours didn't do well. I saw your entry and it was gorgeous. No way it should have finished where it did.
@Sealine · Aug 13, 2026
No way to know nor does it matter. I'm not actually upset just poking fun at my luck 😁

Indeed, and I am with you
