I really like how the light is shining through the Shooting Stars against the dark BG. I think I would have liked a little less foreground however as the brightness & the dark shadows compete for my attention.

Hi Charlie

Chopping off a bit from the bottom was my first thought, before i read the comments from Eirini and Philip. I too agree with Eirini about the fine light on those shooting Stars

I vote for a pano crop on this, Charlie. The Shooting Stars are just brilliant in the light and the fg looks to be upstaging them.
