Ok, took some tips from a Photography Club meeting and then did this shot:

Shot in RAW, did 4 passes of unsharp mask (different radii and different percentages), adjusted levels and curves, and i believe the only thing that i did that would not be allowed in open challenge rules is i used a very small gradient on the top left on a curves mask to get the sky just a little bit closer to the right color.

Please let me know what you like and what you hate about this photo, and any tips you think would improve the composition or the editing

This is wonderfully detailed image, great in a lot of aspects. You might have shortened the DOF a bit to bring the sculpture away from the tree, or you might have move a little to the right to show a little more sky on the left.

But I pretty much like it how it is.

There is alot of good detail here, but not alot of color. not surprising given the lenght of the exposure but a light multiply filter might enrich the density of colors.
The framing seems rather odd the brighest thing in the frame is the building squeezing into the frame like someone trying to elbow their way onto an elevator. That building either needs to be all the way in the frame or all the way out. There is good detail in the tree, but the motion during the exposure blurs it so some areas are sharp and some are not. If the shot was about the wind in the tree that would work, but here it detracts from the astrolabe and the night sky.

its wayyyyyy oversharpened. This picture doesn't do it for me - it is technically unpleasing and innaccurate.
