#1 for sure

thanks Im diggin #1 too. i think the sky should be black or blue but i kinda like the red sky the more i think about it.

the last one is how it actually looked out of the camera, that color at least (did some minor adj.), i was too close to the city

Let me guess. THe third one is straight out of the camera, the first one is hue shifted to make the sky blue, and the second is desaturated.

I love the wideness of this shot, with how you can see the different angles of star movement. Was this the Sigma 10-20 at 10mm? I like it. The first one is what I would choose, but with a little contrast and levels work, the second could become amazing. Just needs a little more pop. Nice work!

all 3 are nice, blue is my favorite and these could be a great triptych together.

from where I live, my night shots turn out that orangey/ red hue. I do like the blue version- looks more "right" for some reason. Maybe if you'd included the North Star in the shot, for the trails to navigate around, the meteor wouldn't have been so eye-catching. I do like the inclusion of the meteor trail, though. Good stuff!
