Great star trails here. Not sure if the noise distracts a little too much?

It's a shame about the grainy aspect on the river and banks.

I love the concept and the structure, but the NOISE!!! Shame...I can't do decent long exposures on my camera without getting that sort of thing either...

Cool shot, great colors--really a shame about the noise. NeatImage would have helped a lot. (6)

Very nice but rather noisy, which after 52 mins isn't surprising. Its a good composition, or crop
