This is part of the preseved monument district called richmond town. It is a 20 minute walk from my house, and it's like transporting to the 1700's. I took this shot of a former courthouse at night, only the frame remained intact. I cloned out some power cables and adjusted some levels.

I don't much care for the lighting in this picture...perhaps maybe too much contrast? Also it has a lot of artifact in it and OOF. Perhaps getting closer to your subject and just taking part of the frame would be more interesting.
A good subject, fits the challenge well. Composed nicely. Don't know if it's just the focus or your chosen dof, but it seems a little off. Also something feels unnatural and oddly unsettling about the image. The grass towards the back, and the framing in the back look quite bright, and the white buildings in the background are very bright, appear blown out actually. But the foreground and especially the sky just doesn't seem to correlate with that. Can't tell if it's in the editing, or if the shot was taken close to dark with bright lights in the area or what, but very unsettling.
I love the glowing light. The shot is well framed ( no pun intended.) There is a bit of a sense of clutter to the photo that makes it harder to comprehend.
