Thank you so much for the honest critique Peter. I actually didn't use a flash. I used the light from my mobile phone screen to light up the plants over the course of the long/high ISO exposure. I can see what you mean about the blown highlights dominating the picture. Entirely my fault in post processing. I'll do a repro one day and try to make it better.

Thank you very much Mike I'm actually surprised I got that much of the Milky Way through the clouds.

A BBQ under the milky way, sounds like a good idea Mike.

Thank you so much for the great feedback Marc I had to do a bit of blending for the foreground to stop it blowing out too much, but the sky component is just levels adjustments.
