Cool image. Bottom left should have been cropped out, I keep looking at the bright light.

Very magical with the light on the tree trunks and that shooting star.

Nice catch! Would be interesting to know if you planned it this way or if it was by chance. Love the little lighting in the trees to the lower left.

Think I would have preferred a bit longer an exposure to get the stars creating an arc, or a shorter exposure to keep them as points. As it is they look a bit more like a blur... the flare is good though. The trees are more an annoyance than a feature... might have tried painting them with a torch to give them some colour and bring some balance to the image.

A shame the exposure was slightly too long and blured the stars. I would have kept the shutter open for a bit longer to make the star trails a bit of a feature.
