I regularly seek out night photos as I love looking at them, and this is one of the best ones I've seen. Amazing job. As others have said, that beautiful pre-dawn directional light really separates this from the rest.
First off, really nice photo. Love the milky-way over the eggs.

This is done really nicely. The Milky Way is looking good, and the blend looks seamless. How did you get the nice light on the foreground?

Nothing special on the foreground light - got to the eggs around 3:30 - and just shot until the sun came up. Not sure what time the foreground was taken - but if I remember (computer is in the office) it was as the first hints of light started to appear. Also used the Nikon D810A (1srt time) - really liking the M* mode.
However, are you sure it wasn't the moon that was lighting up the ground? I was just at Bisti and I am 99.999% sure you are facing due south, so the the light is on the wrong side of the eggs for sunrise.
!!! If I had posted it and then saw this, I might have thought you "comp stomped" it.
