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.

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

Freaky. Looks like a UFO. You could drop the shadows and give it a bit of noise reduction to improve the image. Chroma noise is pretty nasty!
