Initial thoughts
I like the intensity of colours that come from the longish night-time exposure and the viewpoint creates an unusual composition.
Composition/ Content
The content is certainly interesting as it provides an unusual look at a building that's been photographed so many times before. That in itself is an achievement not to be sneezed at.
I particularly like the strong linear aspect to the content ΓΆ€“ pale vertical lines at the left, bluey diagonal ones to the right and yellow horizontal ones (broken by verticals) in the centre which combine to create another vertical. The repetition of patterns is interesting.
I am bothered by the way that the silver pipe to the far left seems to be quite far off the vertical as that jars with the more precise nature of such a structure, for me.
The colours seem both saturated and strong and yet there is a feeling of muteness to the image ΓΆ€“ perhaps that's more of a psychological reaction to the thought of the building during night-time.
Background
The warm, natural, orangey colour of the sky works well against the more obviously man-made silvers and blues of the buidling.
Camera Work - Technical
Nice colour and detail captured.
Digital Processing - Technical
Nothing that stands out. The artifacts mentioned in one of your existing comments aren't evident to me.
Fits The Challenge
Yes.
My Opinion On The Photo
An interesting geometric abstract based on a famous landmark.
