Inspired by the wild colors of recently posted sunset images, I dug this image out of my archives and gave a shot at processing it last night. I combined 2 exposures (done thru the RAW conversion process) with the quick and easy to use Photomatix freeware, ran the resulting, noisy image thru Neat image and PSCS2's noise reduction a few times (images that lack detail can withstand such "harsh" noise removel treatment very well), adjusted levels, applied some local contrast enhancement, sized for web, sharpened a tad and viola.

Comments, critiques, etc. welcome.

Cheers!

Works well as an abstract - a nice range of colours.
