Thoughts on this milky way image?

Well, you asked for it. Here's my thoughts.

WOW!
AWESOME Photo!

Am going to NM next month where light pollution doesn't exist. Hoping for good results, no foreground possible. So, will probably try to paste something in like you have since there's no shortage of windmills.
I like your image, but can't say how much the lights in the lower part affected the image?

I like it. I'd probably like it just as much without the ground light too. Stars and windmills....what's not to love. Both iconic.

Nice shot. I like the ground lighting. Makes a nice contrast.

Awesome shot

I like the ground light too because it highlights the windmill, but I see your concerns that it may detract from the Milky Way. If your goal was to get a better picture of the Milky Way, and you got this, I wouldn't be unhappy, but I would still be trying.
Have you seen the recent photo Greg McCown got of a lightening bolt behind a cactus and in front of a rainbow in west Texas?

Absolutely gorgeous!

I hammered the night skies this weekend hoping to get a good milky way image. I think this is one of the better ones. I can't decide if I like the ground light or not. It does make the windmill appear more than it would in total darkness.

Anyway, tell me what you think.

Awesome shot. My brother will be in Glacier tonight shooting the Milky Way as well. Beautiful picture with the windmill.

Not a great picture, but here's one from my brother in Glacier last night.
