Monument Circle - take 2

This photo (and this version) has given me fits for the last couple of hours tonight.

When I processed the raw file through Lightroom, the Christmas lights on the trees and Monument look vivid when viewed at a reduced scale, but when zoomed to 100% they collapsed to desaturated, white points of light. Something weird with the way that Lightroom is processing bright colored points of light against a largely desaturated background in RAW files.

I ended up processing this copy through Canon's own raw processing software (DPP) before importing into Lightroom as a TIFF file. That seemed to preserve the colors in the Christmas lights, even when viewed at 100%.

The difference isn't apparent at reduced scales, but when viewed large, this DPP-processed copy and the Lightroom-only copy definitely show differences.
