One of my favorites of the challenge. Beautiful.

Nice use of slow exposure to blur the lights. Sorry, DNMC to me though - night sky doesn't cause the impact in this photo. The lights and reflection are cool though. I wonder what this would look like if tilted the camera down another third, so that the line of houses would be up on the upper rule of thirds and you'd see more of that rad reflection.

Very lovely nighttime shot, great color/sharpness, but no moon, planets, or stars. 4.

It's a beautiful image, but not really about the night sky in my opinion. Love the colors.

not sure if the feature here is the sky...

nice boat, nice roof, nice river. Sky?

Beautiful shot, however the beauty is in the boats,buildings, lights and reflections. Granted this is a top notch night shot, but the sky imo is not the defining feature. The sky infact is quite uninteresting. However saying all that I can't knock it down too much - 6 ( In a night shot challenge I would have scored it an 8 or 9 ). Hope you don't hate me too much :)

Not sure the sky adds much to this one, nice photo, I just don't see the challenge element.

Here's my problem...

I generally don't get all crazy about challenge descriptions, but this one was so specific in what was wanted: moon, stars, planets, that I feel like I can't ignore it.

Then, I come to a shot like this; magnificent, stunning, simply one of the best in the group, but no moon, stars, planets.

What do I do? Acknowledge the greatness of the shot, and then feel all sad and let down because imo it is DNMC. That is a shame for me and for you. But what I had to do, sorry.

Great color and focus here. Nice image. My only issue(and this is only because of the challenge)is that your more interesting subject is not really the sky. Very good.

Beautiful night shot.

Beautiful colors overall. Composition well placed.

Yes! The way the sky turns yellow before a storm - well captured. And all the happy lights... it makes you wonder what will happen. Great reflections.

Foreground dominates.

An excellent photo that is not screaming but obviously it's 'Night' and the 'Sky' part is almost nil.

A decent night shot...where the sky is finally of secondary importance!

Totally cool image.

Nice shot , nice colors.
Problem is for this challenge , there is insufficient sky. I am pretty sure a lot of voters will comment that the main subject is the shops rather than the sky
