| I like the starbursts from the lights! That looks cool. Bet you're dying to get that boat out for the summer! :) |

Ok, this is a nice place and has the opportunity for a great photo although there are a few pointers that could send you in the right direction.
First of all, the camera you're using is perfectly capable of making this a winning shot with a few small settings changed. A longer shutter speed would remove that grainy noise we can see in the sky and would help to bring out some more of the details found in this image. Be aware that digital cameras tend to falter in dark conditions when pointed directly at a light source. It completely confuses their internal processors.
My next point would be the angle at which this was taken. At DPC, the voters ALWAYS pick up on crooked backgrounds and horizons. So either use a well-balanced tripod with the grid function activated on your camera, or rotate it afterwards in some photo editing software. I read on your money shot, that you do not use such programs, I don't know if this is still true, but I would strongly suggest small touch ups to your entries if you'd like them to go further.
I think that will all that said, and some minor improvements made, this photo could certainly get into the top quarter of the final results.
Good Luck for all Future Competitions!

| I think this image has two main faults, there is no real focus (maybe the intent after seeing the title) but it isn't very powerful. Also everything seems to be slanting off to the right, a quick rotate could have sorted this |

| Bit of a desolate scene here. This shot is growing on me. I like the sequence of lights in the background. |

| The image is tilted to the right, and I have no idea where to look. |

| Unfortunately in this composition, the main focal point is the gate. The "lonely place" is somwhere in both ends of the picture. Wider or different angle could definately add to the mood. |

| The linear starburts are nice, but the lighting on the right of the foreground is too heavy for me. Also, the horizon is crooked, which I think hurts this particular picture. |
