A perfect photo to start! Exposure is dead on and the star shape of the lamp post lights makes the photo twinkle. Nice Job!
That's a lot of stars. I appreciate the thought to light the trees but I think it would have been stronger without. The silhouette of the trees may have let the stars really shine.My first shot as astrophotography. I also tried light painting the trees.

Tranquil and perfect. The water is like glass. Although there are many aspects to like, my favorite part is the light rays shining from the light house cupola.
I'm all about symmetry and this photo nails it! Down to the railing shadow in the middle of the stairs. Well done! Also, B&W was a great choice…work that contrast.
I like the lines in this photo and it looks like an interesting location. I wish the motion blur on the bench would have been either a still person or not there. Good use of the available light.Square

It's a little spooky but it's so dark that I can't make out the scene. Maybe if it was exposed for an area around the stairs it would have allowed for more detail in the darker areas. Maybe this was a post processing choice? I don't get what your trying to convey.Still one of my favourite photos!
Gorgeous! The sky is ominous and deep. Fantastic use of the available light and right on exposure. Great choice of location and makes me want to visit. I event like the boat blur…the shutter speed was just fast enough to make out that it's a boat and not just a blur but still collect good light.Prague, Czech Republic

Prague Castle over water by Melissa.O.Anderson, on Flickr
Apple for the masses! The feeling I get is hustle bustle and old meets new. The people are slightly washed out and lends to any time period without the apple store logos, that's cool.
Nice Gazebo! I'm not sure what I feel is missing, maybe some perspective with use of the building behind, maybe a closer shot with the surrounding garden and roof reaching the edges of the frame? Nice and bright though.
Nice shot of the Eiffel Tower! It's hard to capture a well known and photographed place and make it really sing. Great choice with the B&W
Fun light pattern from the lamp post. I wonder how much more interesting it would have been if you got a higher perspective looking down on to the light spread and less of the tree tops.Vienna, Austria
I love the color in this photo. Great night time city scape.
The stars and sky colors are Beautiful! And capturing the sun setting behind the clouds is stunning.
The sky has some cool motion to it with the wispy clouds behind the towers. Nice color gradient too. I feel like I should be looking for a space ship or aliens.
Your star shot is very nice. I like that you captured some of the foreground in the shot for some perspective and cool silhouettes. The color variance in stars is nice too. Great job! How long was the exposure...or is is stacked?Image
Perseid meteor shower, 11 August 2012. There's a meteor streaking across the sky in there somewhere...can you find it?
There is something magical about this photo with its soft light. It's whimsical and simplistic… Fantastic! It is definitely the most interesting in the bunch, trash can or not.
Great photo! HDR? It almost doesn't feel like night at all. More like a stylized day shot. Very cool .[url=http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8217/8320039519_75ec5a4da2_c.jpg]Image[/url]
Manhattan Beach (Lifeguard Hut)
Cool pattern in the canopy. I'm not really sure what I'm looking at and wish that there was a focal point or selective focus to help explain what to get out of it. Maybe a bit of the scene or a couple of drinks to help?[url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/r...kr.com/8369/8565055715_678c0f5c4a_c.jpg]Image[/url]

True, not really in the theme but a cool dramatic paparazzi shot. " no photos, please!"Possibly slightly bending the rules (I used a flash) but the theme sort of had a night time feel to it!

By the Light of the Night by acearchie, on Flickr
I love this shot and the colors you captured. HOw sweet would this shot have been if there were a train zooming by. My only hope for this one is that the foreground could have been all water with reflection and no ground….that maybe would have pushed the bridge to the top left corner of the photo too. Nice shot.
Maybe a bit o the fire hall too would have made this photo more interesting? Good exposure.
Good use of the available light but maybe a white balance adjustment to solve the color issue you mentioned and some puffs of smoke to add some texture and depth.Trying this from Flickr. Hope it works. Colors look wrong on this page though.
