[QUOTE="Brusader, post: 105650, member: 12347"] I'd get in closer to the tree as there are a lot of bushes and half a tree on the edge of the photo. :) There's not many stars showing towards around the horizon, so try and fill it with the tree. Otherwise, get in close and look up through the tree or have the tree slightly to one side of the photo. Try and see if you can position the camera to avoid the other distracting stuff. And watch your horizon is level. My greatest nemesis is having a great photo with a sloping horizon (I tend to hold the right side of the camera lower) so it slopes down to the left. I turned on the grid lines in my D80 and now it's more obvious when I'm composing. :) [/QUOTE]
