I'm not sure what you mean, Mike. There's nothing special and no unusual processing. It was like that straight out of the camera. Basic local contrast, curves etc.
On the car, the stars probably have more contrast and are likely a different shape due to the viewing angle. Like how they elongate when reflected on water.
Not sure why you've questioned the validity (?) of both of my shots but i'll take that as a sign of something unique or different.

Hah that's the thing- my car was just as dirty and dusty as everyone else's. I would've liked to see how many stars got reflected if it was clean.
I spent 2 hours washing and vaccuming the car yesterday arvo. It was filthy, dust in every crevice and smelling of cow dung!
