    WOW!! Wonderful, with just the right light on the FG! And perfect composition with the gaping jaws of that rock.

    Hi Morkel

    Very nice forground and good detail throughout. That rock has to have a name..? It looks like a dinosaur head... Have you considered adjusting your POV slightly and making an image so the stars/milky way are apparently flowing out of the 'mouth' of the dinosaur ... Probably been done a 1000 times...

    Very well executed classic shot, Morkel. Beautiful! That milky way looks like the last breath of the T-rex before it got swallowed by the earth!

    Another great night-scape from you Morkel. The rock looks like a giant lobster claw :)

    Wonde4rful image Morkel I really like how you balance the foreground lighting to look natural and not overly bright.
