Nicely done, and you chose a good shot of the batch for this challenge. I can visualize 400 ways to shoot this scene.

Greetings from the Critique Club :)

Composition:

For me the sunset area is a little too low in the scene and I think this would have looked really nice had the camera angle been slightly lower, that would have resulted in the darker area at the top being out of the frame too which i think would have added to the image, I think the Hexagon shapes are amazing and with that sunset in the background there was the making of a seriously good challenge entry here (although I think it might be a stretch for Architecture for the voters on this site).

Camera Work:

Everything looks to be in order, nice use of high ISO to get the shot and well retained details in the sunset.

Post-Processing:

Not too heavily saturated which is good as I suspect it would have been very easy to get carried away processing that sky.

My Opinion:

Nice out of the box thinking and I reckon in the right challenge this location has the potential to produce a shot that could finish very high, there's some lovely shapes formed making for a very interesting capture. This one probably fell a bit in score due to the subject matter and the voters expecting to see a building or very specific types of structure (pretty much a given when looking at the results).

Good luck in future challenges!
