Hello from the Critique Club!

Firstly, I like that you went with a bit of a different take than a lot of folks did, not only by doing a night scene, but also by doing one that is blurred.
I like the variety of colors of lights and especially the eerie bit of light on the railing.
One thing, however, is that I wish there was more of a direction/reason to the blur. What I mean by this is that it doesn't seem to be intensifying our sence of motion, or necessarily enhancing the feel of the photo. Otherwise, I feel like your choice of crop works well and is interesting.

Quite exciting. Probably a lot more interesting than a straight cityscape would have been.
