Great point of view here Tonia, and I like how you;ve positioned the startrails here!

96 views and 1 comment - what's up with that????? This is really nice Tonia. I'm not a huge fan of star trails, but you've really done well here. Excellent comp and exposure. Quite enjoyable.

hi tonia, i like this very much. you did a great job with the star trails and i like the comp with the main saguro. my only thoughts would be that the portruding saguro and tree are a little distracting. cloning may be a little difficult with the trails but i think it may be worth a shot
