Default My first night shot...

2 photos stitched together. Each is about 60 seconds @ F/16. It was very dark when i took them. Anything i could have done to improve it? Thanks...

nice work stitching together... i like that... but, its a bit too dark around the edges, especially the top..
i would take again but right after sunset if possible and then try it as it seems you could get something nice with the mountains

Thanks Dan. I was thinking of editing out the sky and putting one in with some stars...

You already have sparkles in the foreground, which is where you want the attention to be. Don't worry about adding any more interest (you'd run the risk of overdoing it, is what I think).
Nice work!

The stitching part looks clean in this photo. Yes, I can imagine how the lighting was a challenge here but I think your output appears nice given under such lighting condition. I already like the shot as it is.

Cheers!

Try a programme called PTGui, I've used it with some success. You need to tripod mount the camera and have an overlap of about 25-30% for the best results
