Thank you for the comments - and the views.
Two things affected the PPing in my mind.
First, as Elsa said, this kind of environment, the dark areas and the pools of light, are so particular of nights in Asia that editing seemed to destroy the 'atmosphere'.
Second, there was so much color noise that trying to reduce it significantly smoothed out too much detail.
but most important, I liked the look as it was.
I am in love with South East Asia and these photos are, more than anything else, an aide memoire for me.
