Hi Richard,

I think that you have indeed overdone it, but in my opinion it does not 
matter, because I do not think the picture works particularly well either 
way. What you need is some foreground element of interest (a human 
silhuette, for example). Without it, the pic is not worth too much effort in 
post processing--all IMO of course, and the opinion that matters most in the 
end is yours.

Cheers,
Nathan
