At one with the galactic core

[Peeb73 1]

Part landscape, part self-portrait. ORIGINAL (milky way springing from top of head):

Here is my edit, based on Gary and Bull's very well thought-out suggestions (moved me over to the right, a bit):

 

[Gary A.]

This is as interesting as it is nice. But, (the big but), I think having you centered or more off-centered would be more pleasing to the viewers.

Nice one......

Tomatoes, Tomahtoes...but perhaps this works more toward directing the eye to the milky way.

Like that you have the bloke viewing the whole scene, good light and colourful.

Very nice.

I like it as is, maybe change the crop some as Gary suggested. I don't think removing the light to the right helps. If by chance you reshoot it, having a full profile would help.

Very nice image, Peeb, and I like Bull's suggestion here.
