That ought to be my picture. but one star seems to have been etched into a tree. No, I'm not convinced.

Nice night sky, the foliage works well as a natural border. However, the big dipper is not standing out among the other constellations.

I think your processing is a bit off, might have done better with a darker sky and stars above trees?
I'm so new to this and far, far from a pro so don't be too disheartened from my comment.
