The hubble deep field was taken by focusing on just on small patch of sky for a few weeks.
If you take the OPs pic, then the deep field probably represents what would happen if you chose a single black pixel and continued to zoom in more and more and more.
There are no individual stars visible, every point of light in the Deep Field represents an entire galaxy.

Thousands and thousands of galaxies, in every single patch of seemingly empty sky.

I got that but imo the one the OP posted looks better.The hubble field may be technically better but looks worse imo :shrug:

I may be wrong but I don't think that the earth is in the picture. When he took the pictures he took them from earth, so therefore earth isn't in the picture. It is the night sky from earth's perspective.

That site has inspired me to do some astrophotography this May 2-4 weekend.
