I think night photography almost HAS to be post-processed in the way you do it, just to approach "real". What I mean, is that at night, if I were there with you, my eyes would have adujusted to see the lighthouse beacon, the stars, the roses, the rocks. All well focussed and as a complete scene. The camera sensor just can't do that. Yes, your PP "enhances" that reality, but only just to illuminate the beauty, not to make it "fake".

Congrats!!! I think if you're putting time and effort into a photo, stacking, blending, meshing everything together to make something aesthetically pleasing that appeals to so many peopl - that is ART.

You can't take away that fact. People can say "oh well you didn't just use one photo."... well guess what, it's not possible to achieve some of these shots with one photo. If anything, I think using multiple shots to achieve one final image is more complex and involved than trying to "make due" with one shot.

Just my .02 anyway
