Hi Kenbo, greetings from the Critique Club!!! There are a few comments that come to mind on this shot.
The first is perspective. The image is crooked. You might have meant to do it, but it won't work with all the horizontal and vertical lines you have present.
The second is noise. Since this is a night shot there is a lot of noise present. Sometimes there is nothing a shooter can do about it. In my case with my D-30 higher ISO shots incur noise. So when I run into those situations I have two choices. To shoot or not to. Most of the time I choose not to becaue noise ruins shots in my opinion.
The third is subject. I am not really sure of the subject of this image. I think it is the lighted tree reflection but which one? My eye goes to the one that is blown out and that is not the kind of feature you want a viewers eye to go to.

I have to give you credit. You picked one heck of a song to try and shoot. I couldn't have done it. I can't think of a real good image that could represent that song. Keep shooting. Experience makes everyone better. Listen to a lot of the people here. They are very good at this stuff.

If you have any comments or questions about this critique please email me... Thanks

The picture seems to be a little tilted.

This photo needs to be rotated and taken at a lower ISO to remove the graininess or something. It just doesn't look good like this

i always look at the image before i look at the title so that i can first judge the image on it's own merit. it was difficult to determine what the point of focus is intended to be in this image.

Auld langa syne is about old friends, forgetting etc. Can't see that in this picture

Needs to be straightened badly. Everything is leaning to the left. Ruins the photo. Should straighten before cropping. This will take care of that. Also having problems seeing your song. Looks more like Christmas than New Years. But I'll give it a 5. It's a decent photo color and focus wise. PTL
