Since the main vertical element is the subject and SO prominent, I'd have made it more plumb and let the horizon tilt a little (it's somewhat hidden by the shadows and the perspective of the bank anyway).
This is a very good shot. The trees and stuff on shore is a little soft, but it isn't majorly distracting from the shot. The monument is a little bright but I can understand that as 1.) it was meant to be. or 2.) it was necessary to get the rest of the exposure right. Either way, its a great pic - Inspzil
I love the tone and the reflection. Does that ever stand out at night. Are those spot lights shining up in the air, 3 toward it and 2 on the left straight up? To me those add to the whole idea of pointing out justwhat it is. This should be right at the top. Great job and well done. I can see this hanging on a wall.
this is a great night shot. I think it would look a little better if you cropped out the border. You can tell that the photo was rotated about 1 degree CCW, if you want a border crop it out and add one back that is all level. For the photo I give you a 7
