This is very well done. I like the foreground and low hills, and of course the star trails. Excellent work!

The trails look like little light drops falling from the sky. Very neat.

The way the stars are slightly enlarged (out of focus?) toward the end of the trails makes this quite special!
I used to know how to do this but have forgotten. Can you please refresh my memory?

I like this because of the different view of the star trails. Usually star trails are centered around the north star. This gives a different effect. Good exposure and blending.

This has a very film-like look to it, which is pretty cool. I think it's accentuated by the square crop and the tones in the foreground. II like how you've added the brighter stars to the end of the trails --- it makes it look more like giant meteor shower of sorts. My only nit would be to have some sort of bush or tree a little more in the foreground to help separate it from the mountains, but I think it also works fine as is.

Thanks a lot for all of your feedback,
John, I used this method of startrails except the last step

I tried to edit it more, what do you think?

There's a meteoric sense to these trails with a brighter "head". Certainly makes for an interesting rendition of the this traditional concept.
