Nice shot! It's a little overexposed though, the area under the subway is completely burnt out. Run AutoContrast over it, that will improve things a little. Next time try and take two shots from the same place - one exposed for the midtones, and one for the highlights, then merge the two together. There's a useful article about this over on luminous-landscape called Blended Exposures.

I agree with Adrian, though in a way it also adds to the image, I like the burnt out appearance to the subway, but darkening the overall picture would improve it.

Although this is a great composition, I find that it is a bit too bright. Perhaps a shorter exposure would have been preferred. The lady in the background gives a good human element to this shot.

I agree with the others about being a bit overexposed. The really bright area draws my attention in and makes me wonder whats in there! I did a workshop...
