Greetings from the Critique Club!
I gave this a 7 during voting, so I already like this image :-) Great use of thirds and leading lines, the HDR is present but not heavy-handed, so maybe that's why I like it, and why it didn't do better. I didn't even notice the crane til Bear mentioned it, and I don't feel it detracts at all. Those that like silky water should love the almost metallic sheen you caught here. The only thing I don't really like is the arrow and concrete barrier...you have this great image drawing you in, and then there's this great whacking slab of concrete barrier effectively stopping the eye in its tracks. You don't want that!
Hope this helps,
