Ok, now I have camera envy!

I don't think you needed to use a 30 second shutter speed and if you really REALLY wanted to use that long of a shutter speed, I would have backed the ISO down to 100 or 200. Also, switching to manual focus and setting your focus prior to clicking the shutter would have made this more sharp.

I took my all time best shot at night using those settings, if you care to take a look.
But hey, I didn't finish much higher than you in this challenge so I hope my "advice" is taken in the spirit of which it is intended! :-p

The land is hard to see because the photo is so dark.

The flare from the white lightsw overpowers the beautiful gold tones.

There really isn't much sky in this photo.....more like the night reflections of those buildings. I like the three stars. IMHO, if you would have cropped the entire right 1/3rd out or left 1/3rd, making the 3 stars your focal point and not centered, this would have been more effective. Where is this, BTW?

I think that there is too much black space in the bottom of this picture. Also seems a bit over-exposed.

This shot would be nicer if it was a bit sharper in my opinion also I would have cropped a bit of the bottom of the shot off and maybe straightened the horizon a few degrees.

Nice shot! I think it would be better if you straightened out the line of buildings and perhaps cropped out more of the foreground.
