Ha! How in the world did I only just now find out you have a shot named "Starry Starry Night" :D

This is terrific! A really nice, different interpretation on the title. How'd you get that ring of stars? Just natural small aperture, I suppose.

Excellent perspective, very well composed, extremely well exposed! I am surprised this did not place higher. The lines are crisp, the lights are perfect, the splashes of color really bring this shot together. Very well done Sandy!

This is a nice picture. I didn't vote in this challenge but I saw it and wondered if this was our tower. What did you use to get the star effect? A filter?

What a great shot!!! The perspective is awesome and I'm really digging the cross hair light action! ;-) Well done.

Something about the purple tones of the lights make it a stand out. Makes my neck ache just thinking of looking up for very long. LOL

What an incredible night shot! So crisp and clear. I really love the stars on top of the tower. Very Very Cool!! The whole composition is fantastic and meets the challenge perfectly!!!

shot at dusk with more color in the sky would make this a stronger image for me - I say that like I KNOW the lights are even on that early! Just my thought - not based in your reality at all :-)

"WOW" factor here in this one, and definately from the ground up type of image, that I expected in this challenge.....

The stars on the top really light up this image so well, and the title so suits the photo. I hope it does well as it is one of better images in this challenge.

Perfect shot! It's got everything. Night sky for drama. Perfectly exposed. Nice rule of 1/3rds composition. It was also very tricky of you to create a hint of wind for the flags at the bottom. Just perfect!
