> Looks so artificial is it a model mocked up in a studio?

This is almost without a post-processing, as a matter of fact I don't like heavy PP in any of my pictures. The light on the rock came from the moonlight, it wasn't full moonlight, in that way I got dark sky with seen stars.
It is so sad that people cannot accept that my results are 'pure' photography in nature...

This picture was taken using my digital camera while my film camera took a 6 hours (approx.) exposure of this picture: http://www.dpreview.com/galleries/6945761380/photos/54352/star-trails?inalbum=star-trails
This picture was scanned from positive slide, FujiChrome Provia 100F.
