Like the perspective, but would like to see a closer crop.

I love the bridges. Your photo seems to be a little out of focus though.

First things first - it looks like the focus is "wrong" somehow, as the building in the middle of the shot looks oddly soft, as do the bridges. Maybe a bit more USM/sharpening would help? This is probably the biggest detractor from the shot.

Secondly, framing/composition - there's a huge amount of dead space in the foreground, which could easily have been cropped out. In fact, cropping a bit off the sky as well would have made this into a good semi-pano shot, as the bridges lead the eye nicely into the centre.

Finally, the colours - it's a very blue shot, so IMO you should either go with a blue duotone, or seriously boost the saturation of the other colours. Alternatively, this shot may work better in B&W, since the water gives a good contrast texture.

Hope that all helps!

Adorable!! Hopefully no fish were harmed in the making of this photograph. Score was probably hurt by the soft focus on the cat, even though the fish is the focal point. The desat is effective because it's subtle. I like the light, too.

Aww, I really like this - I'm surprised it didn't score higher! I guess cutting off the cat's back and the bottom of the fishbowl would've brought it down a bit, plus DPC voters seem to like sharp, clear things. Still, I like it, I think it's really funny :)
