I think there’s less processing than one might think. Muted the colours a bit and cloned out some linear artefacts introduced by the long exposure software, and a bit of added structure.

Hmm. Interesting. Well, my apologies then. It appeared to me, and kinda still does, that an art filter of some type was applied (not that I'm totally opposed to them as I've used them a couple times myself). Just seemed like a muddy image without much definition, and that seems to have been intentional.

Art is a finicky thing I guess. :-)

That's what I thought. Gave it an 8. Beautiful.

Superb Paul, and to me this looked like it was all in camera, I think the edit was just perfect not overdone one bit.

Beautiful blur and glow. I'm not in love with the title.
