PS work:
-selective colors to boost blue
-increased saturation and decreased brightness a bit
-rotate 1° counterclockwise
-some cropping
-resize
-added white border 2pixel
-flipped left-right
I'm not happy about the upper right corner but didn't shot from better angle... so this one will have to do. I hope someone likes it. :)

COMPOSITION Certainly meets the challenge by showing an unusual building from an interesting perspective. The composition is filled with lines, more lines, still more lines; all forming interesting angles and a treat for the eye to wander around. The single open window near the bottom left adds further interest. It may be been interesting to move this mini focal point to a third and re-compose from there, possibly eliminating the distraction you noted at the upper right. I may also have considered just using the left surface of the building, which has far fewer reflective inconsistencies.
TECHNIQUE I can't find any fault with the technique at all. Everything is sharp throughout, colors are striking, though mostly a blend of blue tones. Nice job capturing an interesting gradient in the sky too. The area around the hidden sun is subtle. Just perfect, IMO.
OVERALL IMPACT This is a very nice picture with a lot of instant visual appeal. I'm a little surprised that it finished at 5.8. While a respectable score, I imagine you were a little disappointed that it was not higher. I can't see what part of the football stadium this is. Very interesting choice in subject and excellent job on all fronts.
