Nice shot! Most of the startrail photos around suffer from absent foreground / weak composition. Well done!
Here are some explanations for non-astronomers:
The "straight" trails mark the celestial equator. The trails in the upper right corner of the photo (north of the celestial equator) are bend towards the northern pole. Note the different length of the trails, the longest are exactly on the celestial equator.
