Thanks your kind comments. I'll have a go at bringing at some foreground
detail (alternatively I have some shots
taken earlier in the evening that shows detail on the stones when it was
lighter - could I somehow merge
these two images?

Any hints please on cleaning negatives before scanning - is a lens brush Ok
or will this
mark the film?

could bring out any detail in the foreground. It might make the photo more
interesting. Also, I see dust spots on the images, which would be easy to
clean up in photoshop with rubber stamp. Also maybe label the star at upper
right?
