That's just great -- I love night-time shots -- not sure exactly why, but they always appeal to me. Seems to me you got a nice angle here and made something that's usually plain look very interesting...nice work!
Image critique: very impactful and dramatic in tonees. Good, long DOF. Composition is OK, but the central alignment bothers me a bit. i think this could have been improved with a lower POV looking upwards. This would give reverence to the subject and add drama.
Out-of-challenge appeal: not a great deal to bring me back because the subject doesn't hold me for long
i'm not sure about this at all - even after five minutes of looking at it. I don't think that it has the sense of texture, of existence that would bring it out to be a great shot. I like the composition very much, like the idea, but in the end it doesn't quite have the sting that one would want. I like the sense of light here - but its impact has somehow been muted here, I think.
