Love it! The B&W works well. The sky is a little noisy, but it doesn't bother me that much at this size. Looks like a fantastic place.

Abdulmajeed , very nice idea and excellent execution! Love it. B&W works very well. These trees look surreal!

There are some visible tents and buildings near the food of the maintains, though.

Amazing shot! The foreground desert and trees really intriguing, as are the receding mountains. And the star "rain" tops it off! Excellent work.

A very effective image, although I agree about the noise. Not sure if it is a coincidence, but there appears to be a very long gap in the trails, the way they line up!.

Very well conceived and executed. I agree with cropping the bottom to just above your watermark.

A very interesting layered composition here. Works great in B&W.

Abdulmajeed,

Excellent and pretty unique in the world of landscapes and star trails. I can't tell about any noise in the sky, but I just think that this image needs to be enjoyed as a large print! I think the impact standing in front of say a 48" print would be awesome.

Congrats on fulfilling your plan.

I really thankfull for all of your comments and I totally agree with the crop.

The noise in the sky because I rise the iso high with low shutter speed (30sec), but for the background it was 50

thanks,

This is just an awesome composition, lots of depth.

What's those white parts at right near bottom oh the dunes/mountains?

Very tricky, in the best kind of way. Great original thinking.

Abdulmajeed,

Really well done both in concept and execution. It would make a great print.
