First real try at night sky

As title, this was taken on holiday recently. I light painted the foreground with a simple led torch.

C&C please.
Thanks for looking

I like the detail you have captured in the sky ,for me personally the foreground in just a tad bright as I would want the sky to stand out more I do like the composition as well

I too like the composition and the sky looks great but the foreground is a bit bright and takes the attention away from the great night sky

Nice sky - if only England offered such dark-skies

I was just thinking the same.

I really like the image Glyn and while it was a great idea to put some light into the foreground, perhaps we ended up with a little too much.

I hope you don't mind, but I have had a quick play to ease back the foreground and concentrate our attention on the wonderful starscape.

Thank you all for your comments, I got carried away with the light painting. My first few were more like Colin's version so I started off ok. Next time I will be more careful.
Thanks again

Nice work indeed Glyn.

You captured the Milk Way very nicely, and it does look much better with the foreground darkened.

Thanks to everyone for your comments, I just wish I could go back and do it again but its a bit far.
