Wedding Gift Print

Hello, I am looking for a little advice as to what else I could possible do to improve this image. This image consists of about 20 foreground images using light painting, and about 80 sky images at 45 second exposures to create the star trails. My neighbor built a custom barn/garage by hand over the last 4 months of which him and his wife got married in last weekend. I had told him as a gift I will create a nice nightscape image as a large print that they can hang in their shed to showcase the hard work that was put in. Since it is a barn, I thought a star trail sky would look nice to give it a little bit of a more outdoors or nature feel. I've spent about 1.5 hours already editing the photos and just need a set of fresh eyes for review. Thanks any suggestions would be appreciated. The truck by the way is a mint condition 1975 ford pickup which was a nice element in the photo I thought, of which luckily my neighbor owns.

At the very least, I would correct the perspective distortion. It's difficult to get a correct read on the relationship between the truck and the building with all the vertical lines converging towards the sky. Something like this:

Fully agree

Looks great. I agree you should fix the distortion. I'd also suggest filling in the gaps in the star trails.

Phillip and Mathew thank you for the comments. Yes I agreed the perspective is off and I think looks much better the way Phillip did it. Mathew i will fill some gaps in as well which I think will look more complete. Thanks guys
