Found an old photo from last year. MW photo from Bisti in NM. Foreground illuminated with LED lights from right as you can see by the shadows on the ground. Maybe a bit too much illumination? MW as hardly processed as I wanted it to look as it did to my naked eye. Maybe I'll go back and bring it out a bit more.
Canon 6D, Canon 16mmL, 20 sec, ISO 6000.

Really nice in the download. Perhaps try to lower brightness a bit in the rocks to bring out the milky way

I took another look and another shot at this one.
I think I like this a bit better.

I think it is as the rock is not quite as bright and looks more like nighttime.

Thanks. I lightened the sky and darkened The foreground.

Really nice photos-the last one is better. Question: What are the two blue dots, primarily the one on the rock near the middle of the photo, to the left of the large space and the one to the right just above the rock?
