Great image for this challenge; especially like the trail in the sky on the upper left. The tree line looks a little unlevel. (voted earlier)

Not voting yet, just commenting. I think this is a terrific scene for a nightscape and your aperture setting was apparently right on to judge by those stars. Nice color and clarity, too. I sure wish the horizon felt straight to me -- even if it isn't.

very nice photo, for some reason the noise is more "enjoyable" than it usually is in other photos. If you shot RAW and imported to Photoshop, there should be a straightening tool that'll allow you to rotate very slightly to level the horizon. I think using the crop tool and rotating it would also work, but it's a little trickier to do precisely.

Oh, I would have liked it more without the shinning light.

Love the smoke movement and the textures of the towers. Great capture!!! I only don't care much for the tilt, in this case...

It's tilted a bit, but I like the movement and the layers of texture. The piercing light in the lower right adds a cool dimension to the overall color pallet. Good clarity...and the shooting star on the left (or whatever) is just a bonus of the long shutter! Nicely seen!

Nice effect with the long exposure. You could have straightened it a bit to make it better.
