Sta.sh
This was wonderfully captured and it turned out very beautiful. The foreground however needs some tweaking. It isn't badly composed, in fact the composition in the frame is great. What does bother me is the fact that it is not entirely sharp and it is lit just enough to where you can see hints of the house's detail. I think it would look much better if you were to do either two things. One would to have been to either use another exposure for the foreground and get the house decently lit with possibly even a smaller aperture (to make sure it is all sharp and in focus). You could either use the natural light of the stars/moon or you could illuminate it yourself with either flashes or anything else that would illuminate it (I think it would look better with you illuminating it). The other option is to go back in post and burn out the details of the house making it a pure silhouette. With the small bits of detail there it becomes way too distracting and doesn't make the shot as good as it could be in my opinion.
I apologize if any points were confusing, I just didn't have the effort to think thought my phrasing as much.
I understand that you couldn't artificially light it, that makes sense. What I would do since you couldn't artificially light it would to use the bulb setting to get the exposure over 30 seconds, and even though it will make the exposure a ton longer, use a wider aperture than f/1.4 (I'd say f/4 at least).
That is completely my opinion though
As for burning everything in I would have to agree with you. I took the liberty of burning it in myself and it does make it oddly bottom-heavy.
in.
heaven.
I just...
i can't describe what kind of amazing shot this is. it is just..
YEAH OMG SO GOOD.
