Congrats on the "top 30" finish. ;) You got above a 6.1 and that is a really good score. I'd take that score on an image any day. You are on a tear with high scoring images lately.

This is one of the few higher placing pictures I scored lower than the group average. I gave it a 6. It is a nice subject with dramatic lighting and from a good perspective. I did not score it higher because the partial desaturation method used in post processing made the image look underexposed and flat to me, particularly on the near tower. As a result the fine detail in the shadows was not drawn out as well to my eye and that is what I like best about low-key images.
