love the colors here, and the shape of the building with nothing else really around does a wonderful job at demanding your attention.

Great capture, especially love the seeming volcanic eruption in the background, adds a nice sense of the dramatic tension to the "peacefully unaware" town

seems like a very early morning shot, which isn't the same as a late night shot (though some people don't see the difference).
way too golden in tone for me.

i'm not voting so as to keep my own image unbiased, but i'd have given this a 4 due to the golden sunny scene depicted at night.

lovely glow to the scene, but doesn't feel late at night as a result. i'd say this seems more like you took a picture from the west around dawn, the only real telltale marker contrary to this is the headlights going down the road on the right.

i'm not voting so as to not bias my own image placement, but i'd have given this a 6...maybe a 7....just doesn't feel 'night-ish' enough despite being very glossy and pretty

i commented on my other 9 vote given to a gun/flower image my thoughts about the idea of peace coming out of the disarming of ourselves and think that it is equally true in this image, and can be easily transitioned to applying that mentality to "how we arm our children to deal with the world".
teaching our youth that guns are the key will not promote peace, but teaching our children the right and wrong times to arm one-self (with whatever weapon) is one of the most important things a parent can do.

there is a lot of symbolism that can be taken from this image (water to give life to plants, peace coming from disarming, no peace without protection, peace prospering out of the remnants of war....there are many many more) and I hope that is not lost on people (not just voters here, but on our species as a collective whole, because if it is, we won't be around for much longer.
