I do the same but usually at night once everyone is asleep, i just start on my passion.

My home computer time is usually early in the mornings on weekends while I'm having my coffee. I try to squeeze in a hour or so.

I think the sun in the bottom right corner adds a little touch of flare to a rather uninteresting area. Anyone agree?
Does the fact that the trees are more of a silouhette do anything for the picture or are they more like boring black blotches?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

I like it, and as you say the last thing you see is the tiny light star. Great shot wonderful tones.

Appreciate the comment dannyrich.
Don't think it is a wall hanger but certainly one to achieve on the computer.
