This is my first long exposure (a few seconds) using an SLR for the first time (!! ) :). Critique on composition and processing?

One thing, the image as uploaded to my flickr looks very different than the one I have in Photoshop... It is very darker and the reds looks slightly off in hue. What's up?

Thanks for the tips!

It looks a trifle blue. But I like it.

Yeah, it does look quite blue. I wish the background rocks were just a tad sharper. Maybe some unsharp mask there?

I personally wanted the blue look. Maybe it's overdone I guess... There is quite a lot of unsharp mask there, 150% on 0.3 px. What I really can't understand is why the greens became almost black. Before saving they looked ok. The yellows and reds were also better.

What did you save it as, and where did you host?

Normal jpeg best quality. Used flickr. I think it might have something to do with colorspaces? Not so sure... But PS opens the jpeg as I wanted it.
