Very nice work on the stars Patrick and nice sky color. Sort of wish the tree didn't run into the rock and maybe a little detail
in the fore ground. But works nicely as a silhouette also.Nice job on this.

Great sky, Patrick. I'd like to see a little more detail in the large rock. I wish the Joshua Tree was separated from the rock, though. I'm also seeing a (sharpening?) halo at the horizon/sky junction.

Lovely color that came through. I too would like just a touch more light, especially on that tree.

Beautiful flow from the horizon glow to the dark sky with the Joshua tree bridging the difference.
