I like this photo. I don't really like the frame. I find it not compatible with astrophotography, but good for family portrait & stuff (this is my opinion, don't forget). I am not sure the tree does very well in this photo, but I find very important something from Earth in this kind of photos. I think the constellation you focused is just (almost) perfect because of the star colors. Is the line that leads to the tree an artificial satellite?

Good picture but I find the border too bright, it distracts.

Stelarphotograhpy needs to be though out and planned before the shot is taken, Composition wise i really dont like that tree, it seems very random like it accidently crept in to the shot. and there is a cable cutting the stelar pattern.

I really like the different colors of the star streaks but find the border to be a bit distracting from the image.

Your impressively large white border overpowers most of the star trails like a city street light might.
