digital rarely seems to handle blown-out areas very well, this shot may have been more compelling shot on film where you could get more out of the shadows and where the highlights wouldn't come on so fast. I'm not too experienced at digital, but if the rest of the scene could have been lit a little better, it might have helped to bring down the contrast and control your highlihgts a little bit. Interesting location and composition, though.
This is one of my favorite types of shots to comment on. You have so much going on here that is in your favor. You have excellent leading lines drawing you into the frame. You got great textures both in the lighting itself and in the plants that surround the light. So much potential.
But Ya got a couple of hot spots under the lights and in the lights themselves. Not in itself a problem if they fit n with the mood of the shot. You are also a little crooked. In itself also not a prob... However...
The shot really doesn't have a subject. Something to make your eye rest upon. Like a dot to dot with a couple numbers missing... Put a person walking out of the frame in the distance. Just an outline dimly lit and this shot would be perfect!
