Front Porch Star Trail

[AxPhoto]

Wanted to get a little more practice with shooting star trails so I decided to let the camera work while I watched a little TV. Shooting with a camera release in the lock position makes shooting star trails awfully easy. I shot these with the Sigma 10mm @ f/4, ISO 400, 30" exposures for 54 minutes. I wanted to get as much of the tree and foreground as I could, but that tends to make the sky a little cluttered with stars, but I still like it. Let me know what y'all think.

Its a neat photo, but something about the top left and right being black makes me feel very clausterphobic, and makes me want to move on to the next image. Maybe a crop would help?
