Pretty darn nice. I like the building in the scene--adds character.

Yeah it is an excellent picture... I was wondering how you got the foreground so sharp with the star trails so nice... got it now...

I am no expert (by a country mile) i am almost a complete newbie but i would suggest taking the tree, on the left, out.... you shoudl see the star trails behind it, it find it a little distracting.... (thought first i didn't know why)

it is a fantastic picture though, the colours are great and the star trailsm and grass blades are crisp

Thank you for the kind comments guys.

Picture was like 2 and a half hours in the making.

For the house the exposure was 10 seconds at ISO 640 .

The stars were multiple 30 second exposures at ISO 100.
