Hatched by the Stars

During my latest visit to Mars, I discovered an anlien's nest. Believe it or not, the maritians lay their eggs into the open sand and let the stars hatch them...

 

For those who don't believe it: The image was taken at the cracked eggs in Bisti Badlands.

 

I captured Milky Way shortly before moonrise. The foreground was shot directly afterwards during monrise, using focus stacking. The "cracked eggs" in the foreground were lit with 2 LED lights using Low Level Lighting.
