With no Moon in this part of the world at present for this challenge have always wished to try a night shoot, the fact that it has been raining for the last week made it hard to get a shot, on the last night of shoot time there was a break in the clouds and the stars were out but not very good in the direction I had to shoot, would have liked southern cross, or the Orion, sadly there was not enough light fraction in the sky for this in there direction as the clouds wee rolling back in 6.50pm here, and it rained again as I was packing up, predict a 4.8 but that’s life.

I don't like the title because it's not the Milky Way: or, at least it's not visible in your photo. I do however like your photo: which is what we're here to judge. 8
The blue really makes this shot stand out and gives it a nice unique look. I am not sure about the bush though, as I find it a little distracting from the main image.
I think maybe it would have been better to go with either more of the tree in the image or not at all, to my eyes there's just enough to distract from the sky without being an interesting subject of itself
