This is an abstract and sometimes I don't do too well with those here. Plus I used the challenge name in the title *gasp* but I could not think of too much else and "star sitting in some green stuff" was just too boring ;)
Taken outdoors during the day - so I used white balance adjustment in PP to start it off. Lighten and darken spots on a new layer, color balance, dodge/burn, sharpen.

How did I miss this one? I guess because I didn't vote in the Fallen challenge. Beautiful image, and clearly should have placed much higher. Must have been downgraded by the Title Police. ;-)
It's cool the way the light catches on the little stars, and the overall blue tone works very well - I would never have thought to play with the white balance to acheive such an effect - very creative. On a minor compositional note, I do wish the metal bars weren't visible - perhaps part of a plant holder - as I do feel they detract somewhat from the overall effect.
Heh! I wrote in my comment when voting "I bet this a colorcarnival shot" then deleted it. It definitely has your signature. Congrats on yet another of those elusive ribbons I can't seem to get!!
