Barn and Stars (first attempt)

Hey all, this was my first stab at astrophotography. Any tips, critique, pointers will be immensely appreciated. Thank you!

I really like this although the light at the lower left is a bit distracting I don't know if that's moon light or city light but I love the photograph.

I am guessing you painted the barn and trees with a spotlight. IF so you watch that you do not let it linger to long on one spot. Which is what i looks like happened in the trees on the left side. Looks like you used a couple of light sources though (from the shadow on the barn) headlights on a car, and a spotlight? Very nicely captured.

I think, judging from the shadow of the barn that this could be two images put together day/night, although it could also be that you parked a older car, yellow light, in front of the barn to light it up.

Is it just me or does the whole scene seem to be leaning away from the camera?

Thank you all for the comments! It's two photos blended together. Taken within minutes of each other. I didn't use any light painting. Just did a 2 minute exposure at 1600 iso. The Stars were 25 seconds exposure at 3200 iso. I kinda wish the trees weren't there as it was windy and they were constantly moving. And I know what y'all mean about the light on the left. Think it was a house light or street light.
