This is a shot of the Milky Way over Beaver Island taken from a friend's back yard along the lakefront. Many thanks to 365project member, Taffy, for giving me the basic guidelines for how to shoot the Milky Way.
I am a retired engineering faculty member who has had a long-standing interest in photography. I am particularly drawn to landscape and nature photography....
You did it!! It's wonderfully captured! A few recommendations here...first, your reply to Amarante won't be in her feed unless you hit 'reply' which I did (see below -- her name pops up with the @ in front of it. If you want to tag someone either in a response (where you can short cut and hit reply) or to make a comment back, you have to type in the @ followed by their 'tag name' which is the one next to their profile picture. So if you wanted me to read this message, you'd type @taffy and then it would pop up in my feed. @amarante
My other comment is a minor suggestion to an already great shot...to me it's a little too much toward the blues. I might try reducing color balance a tad, toward the warmer end but only a very very tiny bit.

Yes, it is very humbling when you think about it. And the Milky Way is just our galaxy. The James Webb telescope showed a picture of a tiny part of the universe with many many galaxies. Thanks for your kind comment.
@taffy Thanks. Clearly I am still getting up to speed on this website. I was also wondering about the blue cast to the picture. I have another version which I may post as well.
