Original, but I think you needed a little more exposure time or bighter highlights.

Not really very interesting or original enough I'm afraid.

I'm not familiar with the constellations to know if this is important or interesting from a astronomic perspective.

That star is called Saiph from Saif al Jabbar meaning Sword of the Giant...just in case you didn't know. Anyway, great photo and nice capture. You must be in very dark skies somewhere.
