    Nice job

    I would suggest taking out the white lines (stars?). Looks like a firefly convention with freshly charged batteries... :D

    As much as I hate to disappoint you my friend,they are stars moving with time, captured by the long exposure,and incidentally, I do not use photo shop to enhance or modify images, nor do I even have the program. All the pictures I have are straight from the lens in their natural form.

    That is obviously your aesthetic choice. Others, like Rags and might self might see them as distracting spots of specularity that do not enhance the overall image, so would sugest, as he does removing them, As I might if this were my image. TAke no umbrage, This is the sort of critique that many Dgrinners look for here.

    You do not have to agree with or follow or suggestions, but that is all they are.

    I don't mind a bit of criticism honestly, my Wife thought it was dust on the lens.That was only an exposure time of 2 minutes. I am planning to run the next image with an exposure of up to 4 hours.which hopefully with the stars and the moon moving with time it will resemble a meteor storm and the moon crossing the frame like a large asteroid. The only issue is will the batteries last the distance as these long exposures really chew up the power.I will just have to wait and see what happens.I have only been involved with photography for 7 months so everything is new to me.
