| I love the irony of that title on a photo that could not be less like Van Gogh. Then again, the song was nothing like Van Gogh, either... |

What do you have to say for yourself?

Great, great image!
The visual impact of your is indeed heavily dependent on your depiction of the night sky - that's amazing how only a few stars produce this effect. Your postprocessing connecting the buildings to the sky by their brightness and toning is for much in the image's impact.
Congrats |

Simply stunning night shot, and luckily some stars to meet the challenge. Incredible contrast and color scheme. I love it. The best non deep space shot in the challenge. =)

| The photo is excellent. However, I feel that most of it's excellence is more focused on the buildings rather then the 'Night Sky'. But, I know how that goes as I live in the brightest city in the world and the night sky has all but disappeared. I should give the photo a 9 even though it's really a 9.5. Since there is no 9.5 I'll just round it up to 10. Ok? |

| Nice! Blue and grey indeed. The perspective is interesting. I'm not sure your frame works, though. Assuming you have a wide black bar on top as well, that doesn't hurt, it may in fact add to the vastness, but the bar below is disturbing. A long while I thought it was the shore, and was about to suggest a crop, until I realised that it is far too straight for that. |
