- Question: Are the colours that intense or is it a little overprocessed? --Tremonist (talk) 13:57, 15 October 2015 (UTC)
- @Tremonist:Per the discussion that promoted the image to Featured Picture on Commons, the street-lights were spoiling the image, and they were removed. — Cirt (talk) 18:32, 15 October 2015 (UTC)

- Comment – great image, but if you zoom in (at 200%), you see lots of bright dots on the land and tree area, especially on left side, identical dots to the ones in the sky. Therefore many of the dots in the sky are not real ! Misleading image. But otherwise a great shot. Bammesk (talk) 03:55, 16 October 2015 (UTC)

- Oppose Too processed, unnatural looking (even for a photo), therefore EV suffers. --Janke | Talk 15:32, 18 October 2015 (UTC)
