The composition of the tree is a littel awkward, but otherwise a stunning pic.

Now that's a cool shot! I'll be interested in seeing just how long you exposed this one to create that effect -- super work! - 10

I love this image! I wonder how long you had to leave the shutter open for this one? (I guess I could figure it out by the angle of rotation, but my astronomy's a bit rusty.) Hope this one does well...

Very nice. Love these shots. Great motion picture. I really like the position of the least motion in the corner there.

Great minds think alike. I like that you figured out the center of rotation. Very nice picture

Nice starry sky shot, with enough of other interesting details to differentiate this one from the other similar shots. Congrats and good luck.

nice exposure for sure. The composition of the tree is a little off putting to me however, I think further left or centered would do this image better. 6
