Or maybe they didn't know how to capture it properly The camera alone picks up more than the eye can see, in part due to the way our eyes work with light at night as I understand. But like a lot of photos, to get those so called magazine worthy shots some embellishment is needed in PP.
As above we have to make our own minds up on how much processing is acceptable. I'm not against a lot of processing as it's all about preference and opinion and what suits the subject or creates the picture you want. The thing that does bother me is when it strays into misrepresentation, as in showing an image on the news and saying this is a picture of the lights taken at x place. The way I'm tending to see this is... Well no, it isn't really, it's a very heavily processed image and if looking by eye you'd probably say the light were a no show.
