Critique please! Astro

[BananaRepublic]

Hello all
I'm still relatively new to photography but have taken a liking to astrophotography. I grabbed this shot last night and cleaned it up in LR this morning.
Thoughts on the shot?
- Composition
- Lighting
- Post-processing
- Anything else

Thanks!

I like it. Where you at all tempted to run noise reduction on it?

The sky is awesome to improve this image i think you could used photo shop to remove the car and tent

Thank you all for the comments. Here are two additional shots from the same shoot. Any additional advice to provide?

More of the tent in #1. As is it looks like a deformed pokemon character.

Too much going on in #2 for my taste, but that's just my taste.

haha! I agree. I'm kicking myself for not putting the entire tent in the foreground and providing some depth. Lining up the composition to have the milky way bottom centered with the tent would've been better as well.

Maybe next time you're out take two images, one with your foreground and one with the milky way. That way you're not trying to cram it all into one scene.

I do enjoy the glowing tent milky way photos though, always have. Small flashlight under an old t-shirt helps to diffuse the light in the tent so it's not overpoweringly bright.
