The Milky Way rising over Balanced Rock in Utah's Arches National Park, shortly after sunset. I know this image won't break new grounds composition-wise but my top priority was to create something visually appealing of an often photographed icon.

Blend of two exposures. One for the foreground: 15 seconds, f/2.8, ISO 400. Another one for the Milky Way about 10 minutes after the first shot: 20 seconds, f/2.8, ISO 800.

may I ask how you got such detail in 20 seconds? it usually takes many overlays to get so much detail out of the milky way =) Would love to learn how to do this. (please respond!)

It helps to stand in the middle of the desert with very little to no light pollution. The moon that night had yet to come up but it was close to full, so on a new moon night, I am sure, the Milky Way would have even more pronounced and of course, there is some Photoshop involved to bring out the subtle details through local contrast adjustments.
