Maybe it's just me, but I can't see a picture.

Very nice, love the lighting you got on the arches. I think the start trails are actually a little strong for my tastes, but still looks neat.

Awesome shot! One long shot or stacked? I'm guessing stacked. | | | |

Yeah, I'll probably try one where I tone down the exposure on the stars a bit to see what that looks like. It's tough to know when to stop editing and just be happy with it! Quote:

Stacked. Walked around and popped the speedlight several times on the last exposure to get the rocks lit. Quote:

I agree about the star trails being a bit strong. But overall very good for the first one. | | | |
