Looking for some feedback on this image. It is a 2 panel mosaic with 4 hrs per panel per filter. I started from a Forax palette and then improved the coloration a bit to my liking. Looking for feedback to further improve my processing. This image only got one vote from the submitters.

CS!

I am not enough of an expert to judge the technical details, It looks nice, colors are nice.
The Composition  is what strikes me as off.... It's nice you got Thor in the frame but it is at the bottom edge and the Seagull is 
at the top edge, so for me you just have too much empty space in the center of the image.
Hope this helps, my 2 cents.

It's a beautiful astrophotograph and kudos on the mosaic but in terms of a photograph you have two things going against it, a square frame which is static and hard to make exciting and as Dan mentioned, no clear subject.

Understood! With 2 panels and 20% overlaps, these two barely fit the frame. Thanks for your feedback!

It's a very nice image. I agree that the composition is what holds it back for me. I don't know if another panel or two is what it needs or if it could have been rotated and shifted a touch, but Thors Helmet is just barely in frame.

Overall, I think it is a beautiful image. I'd be pretty happy to call it my own. I agree with the others: Thor's Helmet is too close to the edge of the frame. Maybe another 25% on the bottom and right? My only other comment is that the background seems a bit too bright(and I mean just a touch), but it might just be my monitor and viewing conditions because it looks quite nice.
