Hello! First of all, that's an awesome shot and you should be proud. smile

Now onto some things I'd change (just my opinion). I'd brighten it a bit while keeping the highlights and colors in check so it feels a bit more alive and "real". I'm not exactly sure what happened to the resolution, but at that focal length and pixel size it shouldn't be that blurry (could be a bad seeing night, stacking too many frames for the luminance layer or went a bit too far with noise reduction). Other than that it's a great shot.

cs,
Matija
