Looks nice to me! Would like to see a bit more out of the sky but really that’s a fairly minor qualm.
You might be able to remove some of the red hues in post processing (HSL, adjust red sliders only).

For me, yes the foreground is to dark, imho the overall exposure could be longer to lighten the image a tad more overall as well as more on the foreground.

Sorry I have not got back earlier but my wife has been in hospital, she is back home with me now.
The image represents how as I saw it. I think it could do with being a bit lighter but especially the foreground so whilst not representing what I saw it would make it more interesting. If I lighten the image noise makes a big presence. I will be going back to the same place sometime in the future and be better prepare as many of my pics were not in focus and did not use built in noise reduction or dark frame subtraction. I will also go out to some closer places to practice.
Thank you all for your comments.

I had a few goes but had problems focusing in the dark, ended up putting a torch near the stones and also problems with cars, especially their red lights. Still got this one with 2mins for the foreground and 2 mins for the sky. I thought I had obscured the red lights in the stone, they are from a distant tv transmitter mast.
I will definitely do more and next time will use the long exposure noise reduction on the camera. Hopefully I will get more experience using Paintshop Pro and layers.
