How can you have colour and b&w without using layers?? I like the shot, not sure if it's within the rules though.

COMPOSITION
Certainly meets the challenge by showing an unusual building from an interesting perspective. The composition is filled with lines, more lines, still more lines; all forming interesting angles and a treat for the eye to wander around. The single open window near the bottom left adds further interest. It may be been interesting to move this mini focal point to a third and re-compose from there, possibly eliminating the distraction you noted at the upper right. I may also have considered just using the left surface of the building, which has far fewer reflective inconsistencies.

TECHNIQUE
I can't find any fault with the technique at all. Everything is sharp throughout, colors are striking, though mostly a blend of blue tones. Nice job capturing an interesting gradient in the sky too. The area around the hidden sun is subtle. Just perfect, IMO.

OVERALL IMPACT
This is a very nice picture with a lot of instant visual appeal. I'm a little surprised that it finished at 5.8. While a respectable score, I imagine you were a little disappointed that it was not higher. I can't see what part of the football stadium this is. Very interesting choice in subject and excellent job on all fronts.
