Illusory Intensity | Mission Street Puzzles

After an exhausting period, our 88 light producers have sent their results. Following analysis, these four are the best of the best. We’d like to congratulate them personally, but they didn’t send their identities. Maybe you can help us find where in the universe they are, and later, decide the best restaurant to gather at for the celebration?

By the way, their pics should be in our gallery, although some frames have been rotated for some reason.
