Dude really? How is this not composite? So you got the stars, reflection, and Hood in one exposure? gif

But you couldn't have gotten this in the same shot as Hood. I have spent many, many nights at Trillium (I lived in PDX for a decade) and there's just no way. And as someone else pointed out, the Milky Way doesn't even orient in the direction in your photo. It had to be blended.

Long story short dude it's not a bad thing to blend or create a composite. Just own it. That's the issue we have on this thread.

True. Not every one is a composite, but this one is. Any decent night sky photographer familiar with the location can tell you the Milky Way center will never align in this way at Trillium Lake. Not sure why you're insisting it's not a blend, because it's obvious. It's a nice image, just be honest about its construction. lol
