Heh. I'm poking around your "Where I Live" collection, and not realizing these are challenge entries. My firs thought on opening this one was "oh, nice strong diagonal!" :)

I think this is a case where color hurts the strong lines and interesting shapes. Not only would I try a B&W conversion, I'd suggest going back at night with a tripod. I bet those lamps would be beautiful.

I expected this would score a bit higher. I think the lines are nice, the focus is crisp, and the colors are lovely.

I like it. The saturation seems a little heavy on the bridge, but this is basic editing, so hard to get the sky right without overdoing the rest. Do you use selective colors when saturating? I would tone down the red and yellow just a little. But then people would probably say it's washed out. You can't please everyone.

Nice natural diagonal, the colours in the sky are pretty. Is this HDR or tone-mapped? ~6

The color is screwed and the contrast is lacking.
