So, believe it or not, this is actually a picture taken on a rather dark, cloudy night at around 12am, only a few stars peeking through (I live in NJ so there is a lot of light polution which lit up the clouds a bit, but there was no moon out). 30s exp. f/2.8, ISO 200.

I messed around with it a bit afterwards:

Work done: cropped, sharpened, white balance changed, graduated tint with blueish color, lightened a few shadows, some other small things.

what do you think?

nice but should have decreased the noise (at least in the sky) and made the gardient a little less bold/strong
