If I were to consider one of them, I personally prefer the second one (with a tighter crop on the sides). But still no guarantees and honestly I don't like your chances for them

Absolutely!
I'm a little torn, as it's a wonderful photo and definitely newsworthy, but unfortunately we don't allow stacks. Personally I wouldn't mind a good stack, but I'm a minority.

Yes and no, because then the foreground would be horribly overexposed I think.

I can guarantee you less editing goes into creating a simple stack than most of the high-iso night shots that appear here. Would be nice to have a public discussion on stacks as well so that other photographers can share their thoughts.

IMO it's not about overediting but rather about manipulation; you're presenting several photos as if it were only one photo. Same principle goes for certain panoramic photos: taking several photos and blending them together as one photo. So in order to preserve the authenticity, I'd rather not see these kinds of photos being accepted here.
