A very nice photo, but no moon planets or stars. A 5 from me.

I'm usually not one to be a hard ass about the theme but this one is just too specific to ignore. I absolutely love this photograph , it depicts the late evening/early night sky beautifully, but there's no moon, stars or planets. I did spot a twinkling something (the plane?) between the arch and the airplane trail, I'll give you the benefit of the doubt but again this image isn't heavily dependent on any celestial body. In a monuments challenge you would definitely have yourself a winner.

Stunning!! Love the painterly effect and the gorgeous perspective! 10

There's something strange about this I can't quite put my finger on. Its an impressive structure and I think you have done it justice.

Stunning shot, great perspective and a nice sky. Not overly sure what the line in the top left is though, short of that, great shot

Really great persepctive and nice capture. the toning looks a little washed out to me.

I love the use of the small aperature. I also like the jet in the upper left.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/07/2008 01:03:35 PM
Lots of drama. Nice. I'll be curious to read how you exposed this.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/07/2008 12:30:22 AM
Beautiful composition and exposure.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/06/2008 02:40:15 PM
Great perspective, wondering what the white line is from in the top left corner? Love it anyways though. 8
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/06/2008 01:49:07 PM
a little bit too bright on the arch
06/06/2008 04:50:29 AM
amazing... try to boost up the contrast of the sky though...

love it.. 10

Hey, you caught a plane!

06/05/2008 09:29:11 PM
good arch - the sky, not so much
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/05/2008 07:12:13 PM
I would like to know what lens you used here. I love the arch and this is one of the best photos that I have seen of it.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/05/2008 04:52:15 PM
very nice capture, 8

06/05/2008 03:21:14 PM
never quite seen it this way. the foreground gives it a sense of place but is also distracting
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/05/2008 09:28:05 AM
Great angle here!
  Photographer found comment helpful.

This is cool, I like everything about it. Greart Job!

06/04/2008 10:26:56 PM
Very cool!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 09:50:59 PM
Lights, POV, reflections are all great. The powerline - or whatever it is - could have been cloned out, but that's minor.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 09:15:31 PM
this might be a dnmc (im not really sure with that stuff), but i like it anyways:)
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 08:26:06 PM
Very nice but you lost the sky. Stars or something.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 07:57:07 PM
uh!Mazing! It almost doesn't look real, like a painting, but the trail in the sky and the starlights says its a beautiful LEGIT long exposure, this is really, really fantastic!!
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 06:31:30 PM
Hmmm? I'm not sure what to make of this. First, I really like the photo: it's totally cool. My only reserves are that I'm not buying it for what I think the challenge was calling for. To me, it looks like there is still a hint of color in the sky and clouds like it's still dusk or dawn. I'll still go high despite my confusion: 8

Beautiful image. I would have cloned out the line on the left hand side because advanced editing is allowed, but despite that a very good and interesting shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 03:57:25 PM
Dang this is a nice shot... I'm having a tough time with using the stars moon or planets though.... I think I see one shining through the clouds, but it isn't really what makes the shot.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 01:55:41 PM
So that's what it looks like from up close, thanks for showing. What's that ray or line at 10:30 symbolizing? Cool effect in the floodlights. Interesting picture, though perhaps just marginally off topic.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 01:37:17 PM
Nice
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 12:39:40 PM
Visually stunning! I am going to be a real stickler on the DNMC here, forgive me..."Use the moon, stars or planets to create a photo that's out of this world!"

I really do like this shot, though. I'm sure ultimately, you will score pretty well, as it is one of the better shots in this challenge, but I had to knock a few points off.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 10:26:56 AM
Nice image, I bet some of the of the comments have been DNMC because there is no moon or stars...
  Photographer found comment helpful.

What a beautiful image
a 9 from me
Good luck

I wish the left side wasn't cropped out. Otherwise, excellent (8)

"Use the moon, stars or planets" DNMC

06/04/2008 07:25:22 AM
Good subject, would have been even better on a dark cloud free night
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 06:46:53 AM
I like the angle and how the lights in the background light up the photograph

WOW! This is a striking image! Cool looking, too!

A great image of this icon.

Very nice shot but the night sky really isn't what's special here
  Photographer found comment helpful.
06/04/2008 12:28:41 AM
I donĀ“t think the night sky is a feature that improves the composition here...

great colours in the sky
