Hey everyone. I'm new to the site and never put a picture in c&c so please let me know what you think. I shot these back over New Years in Davos Switzerland. 15 minute exposure each and no Photoshop done yet. I am having trouble figuring out how to get the stars to pop more (or at all, you can hardly see any of them). I shot at f-22 which I have learned isn't the best for night shots but too late now. Any ideas on anything else is welcome. Thanks.

Pretty wild! I like these as they are. You may have too much light polution from the fireworks to make the stars pop, but someone with mad PS skills might be able to help.

I like them as they are different from the normal firework shots posted.

Thanks for the comments guys! As far as the stars, that's what I was afraid of. I just wanted see that extra element of the stars... Sounds like I have an excuse to go back next year.
