4 a.m. The Never Summer Range in RMNP, as seen from Gore Range Overlook on Trail Ridge Road. It was windy, but I secured the tripod. There were some clouds, but not too many. This is looking southwest.
I consider this image an accomplishment. It reached top 10 status. It fully complied with the challenge description!!!!! And, it would have passed basic editing rules. Thanks for all the wonderful comments. The voters who gave me low votes were silent! But, then they are allowed to vote in the dark of the night.

The desolateness of this mountain range and the vastness of the sky are all extremely well captured. I would like to see more contrast between the ridgeline and the horizon.
Nice photo. The mountains are a good balance to the star trails. The colours are good. Image may have benefited from a longer exposure (i.e. longer streaks) and perhaps a bit of an arc to the streaks.
Good shot, the setting is impressive and the colour variation in the stars wis very good. Perhaps keeping the shutter open a bit longer would have improved the look by curving the stars more.
