Nice scene, but the lights are all a bit blown out. Maybe a slightly shorter exposure?

There's something wrong about the reflections going off at an angle like that. Also, be very careful with colour casts on night images. Artificial lights are really tricky to get right. Tungsten or flouro white balance can help, although I often go with auto, and then fix the colour balance in photoshop. The colouring here is a little on the bluish side.

Nice reflections, lacks a little clarity/sharpness. You've also only gone 640px, I believe you can use 720 in a FS.

The lights are too blown out but it is a nicely composed shot.
