A good fresh take on the challenge. It's a nice image overall. I might have cropped off some of the top and right side so the image had mostly just the bridge and river.

A nice long exposure landscape; the lights are certainly strong, but it's a bit hard to see that they're stars (or starbursts).

Did you use a star filter? It is magical :) 8

Although we can see the stars in the image they aren't really "stars". It's a fantastic image and if I were voting on the image itself I would give it a high score but they are lights not stars. The star affect is caused by the long shutter speed of the camera and I just don't it really meets the challenge. BTW I am not voting just commenting on photos. Good luck

This is a nice shot and I like the reflections. I'm not sure how much the tree adds to it, I think it could be better with just the bridge as it is attractive enough on it's own.

I like how the comp carries your eye thought the image and the long exposure gives a softness to it

Interesting way to shoot stars when you have the bad luck of overcast skies. I like the vanishing point perspective.

pretty scene - i can empathize with cloudy skies when trying to shoot stars

I really like the overall tone of this image, and the beautiful lights. I find the tree somewhat distracting and would have been tempted to crop it out - I find that I really want to focus on the bridge and lights.

This is a nice shot with a great reflection, but otherwise I think the interest level falls a little short for me. I wonder how it would have looked angled, with the left hand side of the bridge intersecting with the lower left corner of the image.
