The sun stars almost seem to reach out to the lit spots in the foreground. Its a big chunk of empty space up and to the right but it works anyway.

Yes, lack of interesting clouds almost made me not post this. I thought about cropping from the top, but then I would lose the tree.
Hey Stephen,
That is a nice one. And yeah, that sunstar is pretty crazy! I had looked a bit at the Loxia 12 as I was looking to add another WA to my night time shooting. In the end, I went with the Sigma 14mm f1.8. I got it a month ago an totally love shooting stars at f1.8.
One this I like it as it is, the negative space doesn't bother my eyes in this. There is enough color and the sunstar to keep the eyes visually engaged.

Sorry Jim, I had a typo. I fixed it now. It is a Loxia 21 not 12! For UWA, I use the Sony 12-24. The zoom is sharper than the Voigtlander 12/5.6 I previously used but the Voigtlander has much nicer sun stars.

Oh this now is quite beautiful.

Interesting shot. It would be easy with this one to take out the rule book and nitpick (sun/horizon dead center, not much of interest in the top right, etc.) but the result for me is that this works.
I agree with the other comments, this works as is.
