This picture was actually a test shot to set exposure for a 15 minute star trail photo. Unfortunately clouds rolled over during the long exposure, muddying the sky. Though much less than perfect technically given the wide aperture and high ISO, I ended up preferring this version as the clear sky and pinpoint stars give a sense of stillness to the image, matching the timeless nature of the desert.
