Again, reprocessing attempt to reduce stars, this time using Carboni Actions CS2. A little other work as well, using CS2.

Nice shot Floyd, good colors also!
Your image is a lil' bit blurry, might want to apply Photoshop's unsharp mask if you have it...

I took the liberty to resize it a little, and to apply unsharp mask... hope you don't mind... 8)

Also, sometimes BIGGER is NOT necessarily BETTER... wink

Keep'em coming, my friend!

Looks great Floyd. The focus is just a bit off, but everything else looks nice.
Cheers,

Floyd, I took the liberty of playing with your image just a bit. I tried to sharpen up the edges of the stars just a bit and shifted it a little toward the red.... perhaps too much. The image is really quite nice. I am impressed with the progress you have made. You are a quick study and apparently a guy who dives in head first. I like that!
Cheers,
Tyler

Here is another version. I am having fun just working on the stars little.
