A nice bold night shot. The compression down to 640 pixels gives it a badly stair-stepped look, though. Perhaps resizing with a different sampling method may have smoothed it out a bit.
Very cool view of the needle. I really like the fact its in black & white - it works well. Maybe a tad over sharpened, but still very nice. Good luck in the challenge.
avg vote, the right bottom leg blurred looks strange and stands out, top part as an affect (not sure what to call it , like seeing black and white or plaid on tv)
There seems to be noise around the tower created by the editing process. Not overly sure how much you could get away with cloning out, but to me it is a noticable distraction.
