Greetings from the Critique Club!

At a quick glance, this photo is very well shot. The composition is well executed, although I feel it might have been improved by panning the camera down a littlebit.
The oblique line of the street meeting up at the pyramid with the horizontal line created by the bridge and lights at the horizon work like a charm.
The only problem IMO is that the photo is lacking the extra little thing that would raise its interest value. As it is, it's well executed, but it's just uninspiring. Fortunately, the pyramid raises the bar a littlebit visually by breaking the horizon line and being at the juntion of the other two lines I described above maikes it even more interesting.
On a minor note, although it was obviously shot from a roof or a high platform, I do not feel it deserves to be considered a "From Above" shot. This is more a straight shoot with a smal tilt down. The camera is pointing to the horizon. But it's just my opinion on this matter.

In short: very well executed. Nice night shot. Good composition. Unfortunately uninspiring visually. 6

Keep up the good work.

I would have been tempted to pan a bit to the right to make the pyramid a bit more of a focal point, but I still enjoy this one.

Love the bridge in the background. What is your focal point? Not bad.
