I wish the main trunk was more to the right so the branches would reach into the frame instead of out of it.

haha! This tree keeps reappearing! Though I can see why -- it's a wonderful tree. (not voting yet, just looking right now.)

Surprisingly clean image considering you must have been cranking the ISO to keep your shutter duration short enough to keep your stars from trailing. Cool scene.

Gorgeous. It looks like the limbs are pointing towards the sky.

Amazing shot, but there's no real focal point.

Your focal point is in the way! I can't see the picture!
I like the way the colors of the sky and sand play off each other. It's a very cool and a little erie setting - I like this picture very much! 8
