Post Challenge Edit:
I must say I am disappointed in how this did. It was at 4.7 for most of the week. I think people didn't give it enough time to see the motion caused by a long shutter speed.
I think I am going to stop entering challenges for a while.
------------------------------
I am curious as to how this will do. I expect between 5.4 and 5.9.
I know it's not a technically difficult shot, but it's isn't something you see every challenge either. I'm hoping that scores me a few points!

Nice capture. It may suffer from the DNMC, as it is not obvious (other than from the star-effect on the lights caused by really small aperture) that this is a long exposure. Still the image has appeal, and that is ultimately what prevails. Good luck!
