What I really find attractive in this shot is the white building in the middle. Your focus and clarity on that are just awesome. The lines are crisp, and we get some really nice detail out of it.
However, the surroundings aren't really that nice. There is a dead branch in the lower left corner that I'm finding particularily annoying. It stands out there just screaming 'I'm ugly'.
The sky is good, and the reflection in the water is also ok. I don't like the way the lights look on the surrounding buildings though. The focus is sharp, but the lights are all fuzzy, which takes away from the sharpness in my opinion.
It's a nice night shot. You did a good job of getting lighting and focus to work for you on the building.
I think that maybe a different crop would have helped, or maybe just get in a bit closer on the building. I'm not finding the forground filler attractive much at all.
All the talk about meeting the challenge, I think this works just fine. Home isn't always your own house. There are some things that you see that just feel right, and you sigh and say "I'm home".

Gee, this looks like the Ottawa River. Nicely done. I like how you captured the lighting of the Supreme Court building. The only thing I might have tried (and you may have already) is to crop the heavily lit building on the left out. I think the image would still be well balanced without it.

The reflection of the lights adds nice depth to the photo.

One of my favourites this week. Good composition and the colors are perfect. So is focus and cropping. Meets the challenge very well. Well done and good luck!

the dark spots on the trees right under the buildings are not attractive enough. Maybe an even longer exposure is better.
