Great photo. What were your settings?

A stack of 134 exposures. 30 second exposures at f/5.6 and 24mm on a full frame Canon 6D. ISO 400. The moon was 3/4 full.

Looks good! What was your location?
As for CC, maybe a shot with F8 or F11 just for the brigde?

Thanks for the feedback. I actually started with f/8 but the stars were almost nonexistent in the test shot because of the bright moon. So I opened it up to f/5.6. The location was at the Roosevelt Lake Bridge in Roosevelt, AZ. In my profile page there is also a shot of it from the other direction with the Milky Way behind it. Thanks again for the feedback!
