Greetings from the Critique Club!
This is definitely a different take on the challenge, and a risky one at that. But sometimes it's better to take risks and get a lower score, than simply shoot for and churn out images that the vox populi will love.
Clearly this image resonates with people living in urban CA, so I can't squabble with them about what people are apt to see! However the lines of the waterway is a little too much, even though the horizon is at a third and not halving the image in two. Good use of leading lines, but I would have liked to see more of an angle to add dynamism and interest to the shot. The centredness is just too predictable. In terms of pp, not bad, though looking at the shadows I'd guess you shot early afternoon when the sun is at its most unforgiving. This was an Advanced challenge so you may have been able to dodge out the glare on the concrete wall at right. Finally, don't be afraid to make the most of the dimensions allowed and go for as large an image as possible. Never hurts.
Hope this ciritique has been useful, feel free to PM me
