Nice shot. You kept the time short enough to prevent any star trails, excellent work.

Nice composition.
Assuming you have Lightroom or another application that has graduated filters and the ability to adjust exposure and temp, bring the filter down from the top to just above the foreground fence rail. Adjust exposure or shadows to lighten the sky a bit. Then change the temperature of the filtered area to about 5400K; this corrects for the dust in the atmosphere which creates that brown tone. If you're feeling adventurous, use the brush tool to highlight some of the lighter dust in the Milky Way and raise the white levels.

Thanks, I will give that a try. Pretty new to all of this including Lightroom
Given that I live in a very light polluted part of the country, I am very jealous of your dark skies! Milkyway's are very difficult to see where I live. I often shoot startrails when given the right conditions. One of the things I do is during the Blue hour, I take several images of the foreground area to get a nice exposure. I use this image as a Base layer and then blend the startrail images over top it.
