Here is another picture from Lost Dutchman area, with a view of Flatiron, and selfie as a bonus.
There were funny loud sounds coming from the butte at night, it took me some time to figure out what it was: bobcat mewing

C&C are very welcome.

Sasha.

Hey Sasha,

I like the warmer tones in this. I think it works. I do think you could have tilted the composition up a little more to lose that bottom bush in the foreground. The shot is mainly about the stars, the Flat Irons are a nice center piece to drape the stars over, but I don't think you need as much ground area in a shot like this that has stars in it.

How big could you print this and not have noticeable noise that would take away from the shot. Because this does seem a little noisy. Oh and thanks for giving us your best side in the shot....

Sasha,
This works for me as the Milky Way balances it perfectly. The golden tones, human element and composition make this image very special.

Jim,
Thank you very much for the feedback!
The bush on foreground does not bother me, ground is balanced with the sky, and it shows the road that leads in the same direction as Milky Way, so this was pre-concieved idea, just as my "best side"
Regarding noise - there was no noise reduction applied other than in-camera, so if I ever decide to print it, I will probably clean it up. It is not very likely I will ever print it big - I have other pictures for that, with no selfie included.

Nice comp.
Shame you have city glow towards the south. If you are shooting jpegs (in camera noise reduction), I'd start shooting raw for your night sky. You'll have a bit more room to fiddle.

I enjoy all the critters that keep me company at night except for a lurking grizzly. Never heard a cat though. When I was out for the dud meteor shower recently I enjoyed bull frogs, owls, a horse, and an entire river bank lit up by lightening bugs like Christmas Day.

Although I am far from being a professional photographer, there is great appeal and composition to this piece. Yes there may be an abundance of noise, but nevertheless it stirs emotions of our insignificance in the universe. A single tiny human, alone in a wasteland, standing before the mesa under the eternal sky. You don't have a photo, but rather a story.

David, light pollution, unfortunately, is hard to avoid, I got it even in remoteness of Toroweap. But the same city lights provide "light painting" on a butte, so I don't mind.

I shoot in raw only (for the past 5years). And I miss lighting bugs, we had lots of them in Ohio, but the rumor is, hee are some locations in SE Arizona that have them, too.

Dave, thank you! I think its a bobcat because the sound definitely belonged to a large cat,
and I've seen some bobcats in the area.

Darren,
That is exactly the emotion I was trying to convey, so I am very glad that my attempt was fruitful. Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
