All right, it seems that most people liked the composition but no almost no one liked the conversion. I decided to take a different tack with this exposure. Yes, it is a different exposure. I applied a certain amount of noise reduction after raw conversion and before doing some contrast enhancement in Photoshop. As I said this is mostly monochrome to start with but now it has the blues, (rather than the reds).
