Basil Loc: New Mexico
 
Went camping for a week in AZ. Took the tracker out to the desert, somewhat off-trail, to capture the MW over Bell Rock, south of Sedona AZ a couple days ago. This is my first stab at processing the image. Not entirely happy with it so will probably play around with it a bot more. Foreground taken from same location but tracker off during blue hour. I'm a lot closer to the Bell Rock that it seems in the image because I'm using a 14mm lens.

Great start, try a bit more contrast to clear the image a bit and make the MW stand out.

Updated version without any cropping and a bit more time spent processing.

I think I'd have used a little fill flash at the end of the exposure to highlight Bell Rock.
Sedona is an AWESOME place, day or night.
Nicely done.
