Ah repros, love'em
(and hybrids
)
I can see some improvements in the new version for sure but as is often the case with such exercises it looks like a mix of the two might be perfect
I do like the detail in the latest version (seems your decon is nicely handled in the arms, with no sign of the dreaded bright worms
) but I don't mind the colour balance and although a bit strong, the sharpness in the original.
I'm thinking use a blend of the two for the colour component and then the latest version (with just the stars from the original blended in 50/50) for the luminance
just an idea
Great shot
Mike
