How can I fix the composition of this mess? Sure I have a bunch of Lightroom presets to make the stars look better but I am asking for help with the foreground. I don't know how to use photoshop to put a different foreground in the pic. Do I just crop it out and just show the stars or what...The camera was level but the mountain in the background is not.
Also astrophotography thread
what mountain?

For some reason a Canon 6d doesn't show exif data, but if you download the pic, then you can see it. It was in La Palma, so technically a volcano ridge.

There is GPS data in the pic.
That's pretty nice, OP. You might want to consider multiple shots that show the sky and a subject on the ground. Too much light pollution for a decent astro pic, but my normie friends shat themselves.
Also, can we have the raw file please?

Or this attempt from a few years back with very little light pollution.
And yes I know that 6400 ISO and 30 seconds is pants on head retarded, I'll try not to do it in future.
