This is probably one of the most worked-on photographs I've ever produced. This version was done in February 2025, and is a combination of several processing methods to try and get the best exposure I can from the image, without parts of the skyline burning out, or the main part of the image becoming too underexposed. I'm happier with this version than I was with the previous one.
