Your pictures are really nice! I do not remember seeing the chapel picture, which is really sweet too!
Not trying to derail the thread, but that photo is actually mine. I asked him on a preference in terms of editing the image. So he took a screenshot of it, did some editing, and sent it back to me with some suggestions. I was just learning long exposure photography at the time, and was have some slight trouble with noise. The dilemma in this image was that I wanted the lighting a specific way and the short star trails to be visible with little to no noise. After about a solid hour of editing, applying multiple noise reduction techniques to the image, this is final product. I was not completely happy the final image, but it was my first go at an exposure longer than a minute or two. I now know of a few setting changes that would have simply fixed my noise problem, hahaha.
