Greetings from the Critique Club.
Hi Matt,
A good long-exposure shot. Always good to experiment with these. The first thhing I notice about this shot is the apparent inconsistency between the sky and the ground - they juts don't look like they go together. The ground looks as if it was light seperately (although in all likelyhood thsi is as a result of post-processing).
Regarding the post-processing. While I'm note really sure what you did, it looks to me like you were focusing very much on the sky and didn't pay enough attention to how the ground was being impacted - specifically with the green of the grass looking too saturated. You could have masked this out.
Another thing you could have done would be to decrease your aperture to f/10 or so. This would have created flares on your light-sources. If this worked on the stars the sky could have been more engaging.
It is my hope that these insights are helpful and constructive. Please feel free to PM me if you have any questions regarding this critique. And please remember to mark it "Helpful" if you found it so. Good luck with future challenges.
Cheers
Paul |

| I think this could have been great but it looks a little washed out and blocky in the bottom third. |

| the stars are nice. the tilt in the foreground landscape, while apparently natural, still makes the image seem out of balance, especially with the lighter exposure going up the right side. |
