The black background when you click on the picture to view large makes it look much better than when it's against the standard white - I always opt for the black background. Just a thought...
Technically, this looks to be there: my only suggestion is to let it be a fraction darker. We think of the sky as black at night, and it shows the stars up better...

John is right about the black bg, somehow it makes this image darker too.
Technically a good image although it would be nice to see something a little more interesting in the fg. If you were in a spooky graveyard then perhaps you could use some of the gravestones in the fg just to break it up a little. Mind, you would probably have to use some kind of light painting, unless you went for silhouettes against the starry sky.

I did a little bit of lightpainting on the tower itself to bring out a little bit of texture but I wanted to keep it dark. There was scaffolding around the base of the tower as the OPW must be doing some work on it (first time I can ever remember this happening) so I didn't want to go lower to include the gravestones as the inclusion of the scaffolding would ruin the image.
I do have another image with a Celtic cross in it as the foreground. How do I change the background to black ?

Hi.
I have a spooky idea to share with you before the night of the dead.
Mark the location you set your gear.
Shoot the stary sky at night, run fast and go away, return later and shoot the stone missile at dawn, from the same marked location.

Most pictures look better with a black background, colours look richer in comparison, shaow details are more visible and mono images look punchier. I say 'look' as nothing has fundamentally changed apart from our perception.
I would darken the sky a it but it's amazing how light th night sky is when you're in a location to appreciate it. when we're in towns and cities we consider the night sky to be black as we have so many bright loghts around we lose that subtelty.
Yes it is part of the Milky Way.
The exif for the focal lenght is absent, but even so you'd need wider than 24 mm to get it all, or most, of it in.
Gioven there's scaffolding there I agree light painting was best avoided. I guess you were at high ISO so a decent LED torch should give you suifficient light, once the scaffolding has ben taken down.
