Looks like it was handheld in low light, a prescription for soft and out of focus. The shot has potential though. If you know you're going to be shooting in situations like this, bring a tripod. If you don't have one and you still see a shot you must have, find something to brace yourself on, the top of a car, a trash can, a light pole, etc.

The lack of focus is the main focus of this image.

For it to be a night subject, you might leave a little darkness in the photo somewhere.

The colors are almost putrid... Also, there's noticeable (unattractive) camera-shake.

Looks a bit blurred, as if you didn't use a tripod. I like the yellow/orange colors.

A bit soft...did you use a tripod & shutter release? Also, the yellow at the top is harsh on the eyes. Nice texture in the glass.

Seems the image is slightly moved, camera shake? Anyway, not sharp enough, I would have liked this image much better if it were more pristine sharp.

A bit soft. Not really a night shot. And the white-balance is off, although you might have done that intentionally..

The color and sharpness seem to be off. Not a lot of interest in the subject either. - 4

Out of focus. You probably didn't use tripod which seems to be necessary for night shots. Also the cropping is too tight.

Seems a bit out of focus. A different white balance setting (i.e. Tungsten or something else with a cool color temperture) would have added a very night-like blueish tone.

Sorry for the comment if this was intentional, but my long exposures were coming out with this shift at first. Adjusting the white balance on your camera will help out immensely, and then you can perfect it with levels in editing.
