Here is one I did this morning and one shot a few days ago.

I recall my very, very, veeeery old low-light 5100 shots that became like paintings after NR due to god-awful usable ISO cap on that poor old daytime cam.

Very nice Paul.

If you are open to suggestions before you print it and hang it on the wall, I'd crop it a bit to remove the window on the right, and then clone out the pipes and the two horizontal lines in the bottom (one on the left the other on the right). These elements don't add to the image and are distracting to the viewer's eyes.

Here's what I mean. I did a quick and dirty job of cloning but you could do it on the original (before the filter was applied).

Thank you Marcel for your input, just done a little bit of editing, and now it looks better :)

You are welcomed. It's often these little details that make or break a great image. I see these distractions as "digital noise". Usually a dot or small contrasty object that tickles the eyes and diverts the attention from the main subject.

I've learned that the eyes need a focus or interest point to rest inside an image. When you have to much noise around the subject, they eyes can't stop wondering around and finally the brain gives up and we stop looking.

to my taste, the colors of this are too much. I think (opinions might vary) that this shot would look a lot better in B&W.
