That fence and that dude walking around way off to the left

Seriously... that fence ruined the image imho. The church needs to be warmed up just a tad too...

Mike, seems like Jake's afflication has spread to you - taking great night shots!

Good job!

Thanks... I can't lay claim to Jake's dedication I generally like to be asleep when I shot this one

The cars driving by lit it up at least 5 or 6 frames. Otherwise it's not lit

Hey TJ, long time...

Each exposure was 30s. There are 300+ images (I was shooting a time lapse). I stacked them using an action called Star Circle Academy V5. You can find it here.

Mike, I have an idea...Why not paint the fence black/dark grey? That way your eyes aren't drawn to it. It's a really cool photo.
