What wonderful sharp stars...and the angle of view, plus the treatment of your close and far portions of the pic are so unique, I knew it was your pic from the moment I saw it.
Beautiful work, Ed. I'm guessing this is pre-dawn, in order to capture Orion so well and close to the horizon. It's normally a late fall/early winter constellation. I also notice a lack of noise. Good technical work as well. -Nik
