Wow 4 out of my last five entries have been in the top ten so you may have to bear with me...
First of all congratulations on your top ten finish, I didn't get to vote on this challenge since I only became a member a few days after this challenge ended, but I would have voted it very highly. I think it has everything working for it. The large depth of field makes it easy for the eyes to wander around the photo and the lake's edge makes a niceline of sight for the eye to follow towards the sky. You picked agreat time of day/night to shoot so that you had a mix of city light red and natural night blue. I am not sure what you could really have to done improve on this image, perhaps have shot at a lower angle so that you would feel closer to the ground and you would have also been able to angle the camera upwards more and gotten more of the sky and possibly a few more stars into the scene. The sky appears to have a little noise and dithering while it is fading through magenta to blue and you could have used some noise reduction software or a light gaussian blur across the sky only, to smooth it out.
Other then those suggestions I think it is a great pic and a well executed long exposure. Congratulations. If you have any comments or questions feel free to send me a PM.

you should have made this the full 640 pixels because it looks like a great shot but everything is alittle small

this is a great idea but I think a wider angle and having the model closer to the camera would have made more of an impact as I almost missed the model completely

I really like the symmetry and lines of this shot, but I think this could have had a better title then night shot
