"This is absolutely stunning! The look off this old bristle pine - especially its texture - is really photogenic and superbly lit here, while the star trails make the perfect background for a photo with such an impact. BRAVO!"

"Very nice done and executed, but it would have been several times better with a 2-3 hour exposure! As is the star trails are a bit short for maximum impact. "

"thanks again. Floris, thanks for you note. I agree, a longer exposure would have been stronger. I will try that next time. Btw, I really like your version of this tree as well."

"Exquisite! That tree alone is awesome, but the star trails add a very desirable impact. Excellent work."
