No. Composition-ally speaking, I'm very happy with it. (That's the eastern limb of the milky Way b-t-dubs )


Also no. Deliberate. Ground lighting conditions made the far trees red in the exposure, so I was playing with some lighting on the close up trees to match.



A good guess, but no.


The REAL answer is, the stars are not perfectly crisp. My focus was a tiny fraction off, and then adding a de-noise filter made them soft.


This is a single 15 second exposure. I had a 3 color LED light and was using the red as a hand-held fill to get the red color on the foreground trees. The back ones are a bit more orange because of the yellow-orange low ground path lighting at the campsite we were staying at.

Here's a different angle where you can see the light I was working with.

I see now.
Great photo, regardless.

It's a picky little perfectionist thing that probably 99.99% of people would not even pick up on, and if you blow it up for poster sized prints you MIGHT notice. Maybe. But I notice. :p

It’s definitely Poster Print quality, lol. I would buy that poster.

Subjectively, I like the flower. It's gorgeous.
Compositionally, you're too close and clipped the right edge. In addition, your sharpest focal area is above-center compared to the bloom, so you're back-focused for the shot. And finally, it's oversaturated a bit. I have a feeling that's your camera's auto HDR mode, but it's really pushing the limits of "that's messed with" vs "I can buy this as natural"
