I love the colors and extreme clarity of the detail in the Milky Way but the trees look a bit cut & pasted. There's part of a branch that isn't even connected to the rest of the silhouette and the title is a tad bit excessive but overall those minor complaints pale in comparison to the grandeur of your image.

Lasers That Explore The Heavens

I can't wait to read the details about this image. The extreme fisheye view is aptly correct in displaying our meager perspective of the immeasurable that surrounds us... and those lasers are just too cool.

The Dark Side

I'm curious if you're shooting with a Nikon and the 10.5mm... the reason being; those faint purple spots on the right border are reminiscent of what happens to me during night sky exposures longer than 7 minutes.
Easily the best star trail pic of the challenge.

St Louis Gateway Arch on the Riverfront

I'm usually not one to be a hard ass about the theme but this one is just too specific to ignore. I absolutely love this photograph , it depicts the late evening/early night sky beautifully, but there's no moon, stars or planets. I did spot a twinkling something (the plane?) between the arch and the airplane trail, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but again this image isn't heavily dependent on any celestial body. In a monuments challenge you would definitely have yourself a winner.

Ha, I thought it was a double exposure of sorts.
Love the grime, too real for reality.

Yes, one definitely needs breathing room... this one just nearly made my heart stop. I do hope you offer it as a print.
