taken just after 10pm, using a 20 second exposure to blur the movement of the clouds, and the River Thames.

Congratulations on your new personal best. This is a really well done image and deserves the solid score it received. Looking at the time of day that this shot was taken, it clearly was a long exposure and meets the challenge. You did a nice job with your composition and post processing of this image. The quality of this image was well rewarded with a near six score. The primary suggestions I have for improvement are related to when you took the image. The image would have been a bit more impressive if the buildings at the bottom could have been avoided. Also, a little motion of the London Eye would have given this a more artsy feel instead of a touristy feel to the shot. Not sure if either change would have helped your score, as the subject matter chosen, while solid, lacks uniqueness to really capture the attention of the voters.
