I love wide fields! This one's no exception.
Raising the saturation a few points to enrich the colours would be nice.:)

Nice even if a mistake

Trent and Julie,

This is kickass. Consider it abstractastrophotography.

Kind of like how in landscapes, sometimes people shoot close-ups of plants or snowflakes, or a lone leaf on a twig of a branch. Something a little different yet still conveys a message and evokes an emotion.

That's what we all strive for as artists.

Keep it up, guys.

Thanks everyone for your kind comments and advice,

I bumped up the saturation a little bit, in response to jjj's suggestion. I like the way it has turned out.

Thanks Heaps!
