Greetings from the Critique Club!
Hi, Patrick. Welcome to DPC. I notice this is your first challenge and what a nice way to start! I'm reading your comments and I must say I don't believe you. :) If you really held the shutter down like that maybe you don't need a remote? :P Seriously, that's pretty impressive.
As for the photo itself, I like the composition and the control of light. No blown out highlights to be found anywhere. The star trails are also good. I wish there were more of them but nothing you can do about that. The image also has good color. I like the choice of the locale which provides lots of interest making this not just a "sky pic" like so many of these shots tend to be.
If this was advance editing I would suggestion bringing out a bit more detail in the cemetery using curves or shadow/highlights adjustments. Other than that I don't think there is much more you can do to improve this specific shot. Good luck and I look forward to seeing more of your work. |

Eerie. I'd like to see the left monument straighted. I'm not sure if that would have been allowed under basic editing though. |

I really like the different lighting on the headstones, gives an interesting dynamic to the composition |

Very interesting subject and strongly composed. Most would of gone with a gothic looking photo with this subject, I kind of like how you kept this with more naturally processed. It seems just right, great work! |

nice photo, however the bottom left is a tad too dark, pulls away from the image. Curves would help bring this out more. |
