This was a providential shot. I was out with a friend, doing some landscape photography and the sun set on us, I just happened to try a really long expoure and got this, which I then realised I could use for this challenge.

Cropped, several selective colour layers to darken the sky and pop the whites, make the trees a lot nicer colour and correct some strange effect sort of like a negative of the lights in one section of the shot. Hue Sat layer to darken the sky, colour balance layer to make the whole shot a lot less red. Merged visible layers, resized, USM three times, saved for web.

Well done on exposure length. Very cool how you've got the lights and then stars as well.

just a bit blown out in the lights (IMO) but you have great detail in the trees
