El Capitan Milky Way

Shot of the Milky Way from 8,751 ft on top of Guadalupe Peak, the highest natural point in Texas. A strenuous hike starting at 3:00am paid off. I was lucky to get mostly clear skies as I watched the Milky Way fade and the sun rise up from the west.

This would be a 4 for me if there was more of a foreground subject. Great shot the MW.

Is the horizon crooked, or is that just an illusion? I love the clouds and car light trail. I do agree with Alex though about foreground
