Galaxies Sisters, so near, so far: Milky Way and Andromeda

The location where I took this image is the Dolomites mountains, (B4, 21.56, according to my app), at 1.800 meters.

It was the second image of that night (during the first and main one, I made a kind of time lapse to catch Perseids).
I wanted to have also this, because it was wonderful for me to see Andromeda in it's beauty, rising out from the lovely dust lanes of our Milky Way.
Others nice objects can be seen as well. Very interesting for me to catch Andromeda in its size at 16mm behind our home, the Milky Way, I never had this opportunity before.
A huge emotion that is a 'bonus' of our amazing hobby.

Canon 6D unmodded, Tamron 15-30 @ 16mm F/2.8.

I choosed the unusual 1:1 format size for this image, hope you like.
In the A version the orientation is like it was as seen with naked eyes, but in the end I choosed as final version the C, because it seems that in perspective Andromeda is it getting closer... as it could be, indeed.

Thanks for watching.

The “AstroBin Image of the Day and Top Picks”, or IOTD/TP, is a long-running system to promote beautiful, interesting, peculiar, or otherwise amazing astrophotographs, with a focus on technical excellence. Learn more.

Submitted The date and time when you submitted this image for IOTD/TP consideration.	...
Views by Submitters (available since September 19th, 2023) Every image is assigned to 50% of available Submitters. In the event that at least 80% of them don't view the image before its time in the IOTD/TP process expires, it's assigned to the other 50% of Submitters and the process begins anew.
Promotions by Submitters When 3 distinct Submitters promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for Top Pick status. This requirement, in addition to anonymization of images and distribution to only a subset of them, prevents biases and ensures that the best images are selected.
Promotions by Reviewers When 3 distinct Reviewers promote the image, it moves on to the next stage of the process: evaluation for IOTD status.
Early dismissal Staff members have a lot of images to inspect on a daily basis, and they can dismiss images if they believe they don't meet the requirements for IOTD/TP selection. If an image is dismissed 5 times, it's removed from the process. This streamlines the process and ensures that any bias present in promotions could be overruled by other staff members.
