Star trails

Shot this in the southwest US. It's compose of 105 shots (30s) for the stars and one longer exposure for the foreground

Great image, Jose! It has an other-worldly atmosphere, especially with that dinosaur crocodile thing in the foreground threatening the viewer. It's a good composition, especially considering that you had to pre-visualise the star swirl, and probably could hardly see a thing anyway!

I agree with Chris about everything. My only addition would be to wonder if you could lighten the foreground a tiny bit to bring out the front of that super cool rock. Not enough to look like a light - just an overall lightening.

Either way - big thumbs up!!

Thanks Ruth! I could lighten it a bit, and probably would help it. My original idea was tom make it darker to make it look more mysterious.
