I have been wanting to have a go at this one ever since I found it. Firstly it is a smashing shot and secondly it is not far from home.

#1 PL6 save as DNG > SNS-HDR My go to app when I want a very natural result > no further processing apart from a resize.

#2 For compaison, here is how Aurora Natural preset throttled back to 30% renders it. Even now it seems a tad over-saturated to me

#3 As #1 but a slight crop and + some foreground brightening.

Canon EOS 750D / EOS Rebel T6i / Kiss X8i • Canon EF-S 10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM @10mm • 20s. • f/20 • ISO 200

Here's my version. I went for a low-key approach. PL6 to LP.

IMO the only way to handle sodium-vapor lighting. Thank you Silver EFX 3.

Tried making this look like a pencil sketch but I think it came out horrible. At least not what I am looking for.

I like where you ended up. Just for fun, I took your image and tried for a sketchy look. Didn't quite make it. With this technique, the Divide blend layer wipes out everything. Then you paint very lightly with white to bring back as much detail as you want.

Same technique (Divide blend mode) without desaturating . . .

Thanks Martin for the link, downloaded and now to find enough space to install.

Had to play with a day to night version.
