This just doesn't do a lot in the portraying of heroes. What I see here is a building and not heroes. With that being said now for the strengths of this photo. It is a nice exposure with good focus for the time of day.

You've captured the building very well. While I can appreciate your desire to honor the athletes, this particular shot doesn't work as well overall as you might have wished. Perhaps choosing an element of the building as a focal point (like the part with the rings on it) might have conveyed your intent more clearly. Without the title, this shot couldn't stand for a "hero" on it's own.

I think there's too much negative space at the top of this photo. Less space at the top, and the 640 height would have helped bring the stadium into a far better focus.

Good idea, but the image feels quite out of balance and for me, it throws the rest of it all off.

I like the reflections in the water. Photographing the structure at night gives it a more mythic quality - good for the challenge. I do not feel the large amount of sky does anything for the picture, I would have prefered more water relfections if possible. Perhaps focusing your attention on the end of the building with the olympic sign would have created a composition that filled the frame more and foucused the subject.
