Crisp, clean, and a very different view of Zabriske.  Nice Venus star.  My only nit is the very bright star trail at the top right of the frame.  Very nice.

Interesting and different take on ZP, Alberto. The brillance of venus is cool.

Real nice and different take on Z Point. I would agree about the star upper right.

The cool tones of the BG along with the night time sky contrast beautifully with the warm tones of the FG, Alberto. The planet Venus is also a nice element in this scene. Beautiful image. Did you happen to take any images with a shorter exposure to shorten the star trails?

Thanks all for the feedback! Gary & Harley, I agree about the star - new version below. Ed, I did, but the foreground is darker and I am trying to see if I can process it to a point that I am happy with it. I'll post it if I get there.
