Thanks for your kind comments Rachel. I can't claim responsibility for the starry effect, it just happens on long exposures with any point of light, not sure why - but I agree it does add a little something!
Oh, I didn't even notice the twig! Anyway, excellent shot! I absolutely love it! I love that you used a slow shutter speed because it looks beautiful... I especially love the starry effect! Excellent work here :) ~Rachel~
