Hello !
It is panorama : 3 frame, stiched with PTGui.
D800,samyang 14mm , f2,8 : iso 5000 , 50 sec , f2.8 .
Little bit of light painting. The idea was to create some dreamy composition of with land and sky, reality and dream. I hope you like it!
I'll be glad to hear any critique ! Thank you !

Ohhh.... ahhh... this is cracklin' with electricity and coolness! I enjoy the mystery, the twinkle and the pathway w/light painting. Of course it pushes extremes in color balance...and it works!! ....dreamy, for sure. If any thought to improve ...would be a touch more lightin the pathway planks and lower ptn of posts...perhaps a slight realignment to get the lines of the path perfectly vertical or perpendicular with the horizontal. That is just 'me' with my obsessive tilt-meter problem. This is cool...thanks for sharing and pushing the boundaries with creativity.

Interesting night shot. I typically don't like man made objects in my images, but this works here with the title. Great vibrant stars. I just wish the oranges weren't so vibrant here. I think toning them down slightly would make this a bit better. Just personal preference.

This is beautiful! I love the colors, light and the title. Nice details also. The composition being vertical is also very clever. Very nice work! Thank you for sharing!

Magical combination of a coloured sky, Milky Way and light painting.

Wonderful sky. The Milkyway looks good and sharp and quite reasonably processed. The light pollution is wonderful! What really makes this image for me is the bottom half, That strong leading line right through the middle and the amazing textures of the grass either side. This gives it such a strong narrative effect... an air of mystery.

Very nice Oleg. Reminds me of my Sleeping Under The Stars image.
