Thanks to everyone for their comments. Just got this camera and have never entered anything before so I suppose this was a way to get the feet wet. Doesn't help that I don't have access to Photoshop yet which is why I had trouble with sizing. Anyway, hopefully I can tweak the rudimentary stuff and submit more meaningful shots in the future.

The points that I am sure you have heard already in the comments; image size is not using the allowed size of 640 pixels on a side and has a bit of a clockwise tilt. The motion blur is so obvious I will assume it was intentional, and it certainly brings the focus of the image away from the building (as a building) and places it squarely on the lights. A great way to meet the challenge topic head on. However, abstracting the building in this way leaves you with composition only to produce an effect -- and it is a bit heavy on the right hand side. The large bright area in the lower right out weights the rest of the image -- I believe placing more negative space on the right and less on the left would have produced a better composed image.

It's too small, also no part is clearly in focus.

Seems too blurry, the crop isn't straight, would like to see more of the building.

Sorry the photo is very small and blured with funny squiggly things. I would suggest you look in the tutorial section for re sizing photos for a challenge.

Sorry, this does not work for me. Too small and the motion during exposure is more distracting than interesting.

Oh dear, this is WAY too small and will get marked down severely for that reason.

The photo itself is puzzling. What is it? It just looks like a blur.
