Highlight recovery, fill light, sharpen, basic "Noise Ninja", infact, I increased software Exposure to highlight the noise for the "Noise Ninja" setting, then took the Exposure back down. Curves, but not much. Then, crop and add th border.
I don't expect much out of this shot, but I participated, and met the challenge. Night photography ain't easy!
Thank You! to Officer Mike Sill of the Fresno Co. Sheriff's Department for taking the time to make this shot!

I do not know if created it to look blurry but it seems to be a little bit too much of it. Plus the rest of the picture is black and leaves you hanging.
They were after you for taking this photo at the airport, weren't they! ;)
Good shot - I like the story the image conjures.
Best of luck to you in the challenge!
I hope the other voters realize that this is not such an easy shot to take. You've done a great job - everything is perfect - especially considering the 'basic edit'. I love it...10
