No problem on the Validation Request. I'd have done the same.
From Azrifel:
Thanks for the explanation, if you got a validation request in the middle of the week it was because of me. I thought no way that there was a full moon and did a dq-request. Still voted it an eight.
The moon is actually young, not a full moon. But the long time exposure brought forth the shadowed part. Accidental effect but I like it.

Congradulations on a stunning, vivid, colorful image... I’ve been trying to take some similar ones myself. My results have not been as good. The entire city seems ablaze.
Thanks for the votes. This is the highest I've made it so far. Still, no ribbon. Sigh.
There were comments about the horizon a bit askew. It's not, actually. Land was a bit higher on the right. If I straightened the photo horizon on the land, then the horizontal lines of the sky would be the next thing many would notice askew. Now if only this wasn't a Basic Editing competition...
Yes, the lights were overblown. I guess that's the aesthetic license I exercised. I like the way the city "burns" with life. The "hottest" parts are actually the night spots.

Taken from my backyard (yes, I'm lucky to have this almost every night) in Antipolo. The city is Metro-Manila, Philippines.
Spetacular panoramic nightshot! The landscape is quite overexposed, in my opinion. But this is a basic challenge and there's little you could do in that department. Great job overall, anyway. :)
Wow! Fantastic capture! I think the city lights could use just a bit less exposure as they overpower the moon & sky, but I think this will be in the top 10!
Beautiful sky. Amazing how you caught the moon and clouds and sky like this. Only complaint is that it's a tiny bit noisy in the sky and a little soft focus-wise perhaps. But still a very pretty picture.
WOW! This is an amazing shot! Love the various elements: sky, moon, city & lights. This deserves a blue for sure. Hope to see it on the front page. 10!!
What an angle!!! Maybe just a tad overexposed though. The buildings would have had a little bit more detail without losing too much sky color with a little shorter shutter time. Good job!
Wow, this one is in the hunt for a ribbon. Nicely done. One of my favorites so far in this challenge. The highlights are a little much, but you probably needed the exposure time to pick up the darker sky, so well done. Nice going.
