This challenge to me was more about motion than just plain long exposure of static object. Still, I upgrade you to 5 since your shot is well compose and frame.
Either your getting some major fisheye from the lense or you camera wasn't straight. You can see what I mean if you follow the pillars upward. They appear to be falling inward. I do believe this can be corrected in photoshop and is a legal edit for this challenge. I do like how it looks naturally framed but it could have been a little brighter as well. Good luck in this challenge. <5>
This is a good shot - although an angle I have seen before. The problem is, however, that just because you have used a long exposure to capture the image, does not mean the impact of the photo is created by said long exposure. Thus, you don't really meet the challenge particularly well. 5
