Surprising shot i love. Very good idea and well done here. I like the effect given by the exposition time you choose. The angle of point of view is great, framing the light circle with branches and buildings in other side is perfect for me. Bravo.Thanks for sharing!

Amazingly sharp for a 30-second exposure. I like the composition with the trees at one side and buildings at the other. I don't like the small leaning buildings caused by the lense.

This is a great night shot.
I really like it. I wonder if you could have taken the shot a bit more from the right, to get rid of the tree, but in any case its a great shot.

A great night and motion shot. I also like the diagonal composition given by the arm and the circle´s position in the corner opposed by the single human in the other corner.

Good play on geometrical patterns, looks like a kiddie construction game : we have cubes, circles and even two triangles drawn by some building roofs in the background.

very slightly blown out perhaps a 15s. exposure would have been more adequate, bracketting is mandatory in these situations, and we don't need to see the fence nor the ground either, they're breaking that simple geometrical feel.
