Fantastic shot and I like the reflections down in front.
Hey Yervant, you have been missed! So it's awesome to have you come back and post some photos.
I like how the MW almost seems like it's being generated by the light pollution on the horizon. Is that the Lagoon Nebula I spy in your MW?
Have you thought about cooling this off just a hair? I like the color in the core of the MW, but cooling off the sky might bring even more definition to it? Not sure, but it's something I would try if this was mine.
What FB Group do you run?

Hi Jim. That is the Lagoon. I always try and process for true color. It takes many steps(Layer work) in Photoshop. I personally don't like the look of a cooler image. A cooler image is to blue and NOT the correct color of a night sky. I've seen to many Milky Way photos where people PP a sky to make it look blue. Many change the WB and lean it to the blue side which creates a global false color to the image. Many details can be lost in a false color image. Nebulas should be able to be spotted and that happens with PP for true color.
Nice one Yervant. The ground light adds to the image rather than distract as it is sometimes the case.
