Nice lines and movement created by them. I would have rotated the canvas a bit but it ain't my photo is it. Nice find.

I like the way the white flower emerges from the total dark. Too bad the focus is off.

Good composition and the clouds give good effect i think maybe some more time exposure give the water some stillness it gives great affect .Well done

I didn't vote on this challenge so this is the first time I've seen this. I love the shopping cart -- it's a perfect touch.

As to the blown-out street lamp, you do have some detail there, so it's not that bad.

I've tried photos in a similar vein and have had some success combining shots.

I do one shot as the meter in my DSLR tells me. Generally, this gives me good detail in the street, buildings, windows, etc. Then I take a second shot at 1/125" or 1/50" or until I have decent detail in the street light (or what ever else is blown out). Then I go home and blend the layers in Photoshop CS5. I use the long exposure as the base and layer the short exposure over it. I then fade the short exposure shot a little until the light looks good, and use a very soft brush to erase the rest of the short exposure layer. Flatten the image, and I've usually got a pretty good looking street light. (IMNSHO 8P) I've also used it for nocturnal landscapes/seascapes when the moon is blown out.

Well. 2 10s, thank you who ever.
3 2s, your opinion is noted.
Looks like it split the vote a bit.I like that, means that I am not being too same same.
Thanks to all who voted.

needs better detail, also too noisy.
