 post challenge:
thanks to everyone that voted and took the time to comment.

this was a 3 1/2 minute exposure and one of about 30 shots i took in succession that night. there was just too much light pollution here since it's in the middle of a busy neighborhood otherwise i could've exposed it longer to get better startrails.

all shots were taken between 930pm and 1130pm. (this shot was taken at 1043pm)

here's an ~20 second exposure (you get a good view of orion in this one) and the complete stacked series of shots.

This has a lovely convergence to it. The structure and the stars reaching toward each other. Well done on exposure. Nice shot.

your camera seems to have a little to much movement, building looks good but the stars are very blurred

Great photo. Looks like the sun is rising from the left. Detail and color look natural and star trails give away the fact that it's at night.
