Good effort for your first try!
A little known secret for processing Milky Way shots is to apply an unsharp mask with the radius maxed out as high as it will go. It's a good method for making it pop a bit more. If that is something you are interested in, of course.

Keola,
I just sent you an email, so hopefully you see that, or read this to understand why your image was moved to the Man & Nature Gallery. Also, because there is a limit to posting 1 image post per day, re-worked images are encouraged to be posted within your original thread. Simply use the comment box and attach your new re-worked file. It's also recommended that you edit the title of your post to indicate a repost. In other words, change your title to "Milky Way on Donner +rp" (or whatever will fit.)
I saw your repost by had to remove it. Could you please comment here and add your repost. The image was much improved and I know folks will want to see this.
BTW, an excellent image of the night sky, the Milky Way and the inclusion of the human element. Well Done!
Lon

I like the juxtaposition of the head and tail lights with the Milky Way. Nice image!
