Rejected for exposure

This was rejected for being under or over exposed. It was a series of long exposures, stacked, to showcase the home and the night sky. Suggestions?

    Great image. Congratulations.

     

    The picture is slightly underexposed ( you need to fix this cut-off) and the sky is too noisy.

    The art is to denoise without touching the stars.

     

    Other points:

    • It's unfortunate that the garage is so limit with the image border. It would be better to have view of the garage road.
    • The image could have a small geometry correction.

     

    As @RALPH_L said, you will need a property release.

    The sky still needs some noise reduction. The shadows also need to be lightened up.

    Is this your house? Regardless, you will need a property release.

    Awesome image!  From a technical standpoint, there is still noticeable noise in the sky though.

     

    I suspect night sky images with stars in them that are being used commercially have been taken with a tracker that rotates at the same speed of the earth.  This allows for a much longer exposure, and thus a lower ISO.  Super long exposures and trackers come with their own set of challenges though 🙂
