I took a similar approach, and tried to think of composition, and best use of the subject.

Do we have to be veiled in talking about our favorites and what we like about each one until the voting ends?  Is that so we don't inadvertantly influence the voting?

There were a few I really liked but one totally stood out.

I voted for one of the 9 listed...but my favorite photo of all the night shots isn't one of the ones I can vote on here. Brian posted a night scene of a rural field that I currently am using for my desktop wallpaper, and if that was one of the options, that one would get my vote.

I think he grabbed that one elsewhere.

Yes, and it was also heavily photoshopped.

Doesn't show up for me... Not in the first 400 images returned, anyway. (Safesearch disabled).

It did give me a chance to try "TinEye", though. That's a new "image search engine" where you upload an image (or give a link to one) and it will find other occurrences of the same image (or, so they claim, "alterations" of the same image). TinEye produced the following (single) result:

http://jnleblanc.canalblog.com/archives/la_poesie_du_lundi/p20-0.html

(Or, rather, the top-most page of the blog - I had to dig in the archive to actually find it). Clearly the same image, but since the resolution is LOWER, it's almost certainly not the source.

If you read below the pic, the author says he blended two exposures to create that image.
. I blended two exposures - an underexposure of the sky and slight overexposure of the rolling hills - to capture what my eye saw as I stood where the edge of day meets the night.

IOW an HDR image (as someone previously speculated), although apparently done manually.

the Poll is scheduled to end Friday, but there are 34 votes right now.  If there's still 34 votes by tomorrow, I'll assume everyone who's gonna vote already has and end the poll.
