Delicate Arch Star Track

[tjdhulst]

First I would like to know which one of the two shots people prefer. They are both copies from the original RAW file but processed in different ways (of course). My goal was to create a semi-decent start track pattern with one of my favorite landscapes silhoutted. Any comments on composition would be appreciated as well. I know there are two planes tracking through the shot so please avoid that comment. Thank you.

Camera: Canon Rebel Xs
Focal Length: 18 mm

i prefer the colour shot. The b/w shot is a little too soft for my taste . composition is good too though i would have used a shorter exposure time. The streaks in the sky are preventing me from looking at the landscape.
