So, tonight I thought to give the light trails and stuff a go, and got one really good photo (the light trails aren't good but the overall colour is good), and wondered how it was so different to all my others?
Here's the picture in question:

And here's how all the others turned out:

The question I have is what made the difference in the amount of colour and awesome background that came out? I was shooting in Av mode for pure lazyness, and from what I can see in the EXIF only the F stop was changed, but surely this isn't what gave the awesome colours? Was it something to do with how the light shined into the camera or reflected off the trees etc?
These were all taken around an hour ago so it was pitch black unlike the sky shown, so I really don't understand where the vibrant colour came from
Any info appreciated!
