Title: 2022 - ReProcess

Description: I've reprocessed this image in 2022 with new techniques and tools. My main goal was to get a more natural feel to the colors and control the stars a bit more. I'm happy with the result but it took a lot of attempts and hours of work to get here... Hope you enjoy!
