I shared the top image in May. Since that time I have purchased new software and hopefully learned a few more things. And each time that I modify an image, it looks different than previous versions. The picture depends on my mood. During Sunday, I would modify the original picture to produce the bottom image. Look at the two images and decide which one you think is better.
I cropped the image a little tighter to remove some distractions near the edges. The support braces under the bridge near the middle of the pictures are brighter. I softened the blown-out lights. I removed the yellow sign near the top center. I lighten the reflections on the clouds of the town lights seen in the upper right. I passed the file through a noise reduction program to smooth the concrete posts and noise in the blue sky. I played with the file so much that I may have forgotten something?
