It's a shame the sky is so flat. I'd have been tempted to crop it tighter to elimate that issue.

Sorry about the "6" comment. The keypad voting script did that.

This is a pretty good shot, nothing technically bad about it. Good leading lines. Just not extremely spectacular.

I think that cropping the top portion down to decrease the negative space would help. This would, IMO, increase the strength of the leading lines also, with the suspension cables coming from the corner instead of the side.
