Not Utopia

Thanks

I'll post the original in a day or so. I'm at work now, and I won't be home tonight. There wasn't much PS work really. Saturation boost and USM basically.

I would like to see the original as well. I don;t know anything about Photoshop yet, and am looking ...
I liked how there were no tail lights of cars (red), only headlights (yellow).

Here's a resized version of the original RAW shot.

Matt, Matt, Matt... I think that picture definately shows what you want it to. Even the original. For me, it's like you have jumped over the wall that separates the fast paced life and the beauty of nature. And now you're waiting to start exploring. Great work.. Powerful picture.

Truely awsome shot! The only thing I don't care for are the star trails. I think the image would be even more striking if the stars were pinpoint. Maybe it would be possible to take a second shorter exposure at a higher ISO for the sky and superimpose it in PS. just my two cents, great work.
