A good thing I always ask myself before I shoot is, "What do I want this photo to be about?" If I can't answer that question, I must rethink the shot. I know you can say, "This is about all the neat things going on in St. Louis." But if that were the case, you forgot to put the baseball field in there and a bunch of other things. I hope I am making myself clear. You actually have at least 4 photos in one here and they all compete for the viewer's emotions.

This could be improved dramatically by "raking light" on the building, which would model it better and provide also a blast of luminance on the arch itself. Conceptually it's a wonderful picture.

I like all the different elements of the photo, however it seems too much all together for me....

Seems a bit too busy for my taste. I like the idea though.

my first impression of the photo is that it really has a collage like quality to it... not sure whether i like this quality or not but it seems like things are just pasted one on top of the other on the page.

In my opinion I'm not sure what to focus on the statue the arch or the building. By this I mean the subjects in your photo are competing for attention with out a clear winner. I think photos do better when their is a main dominating subject, a clear object that pops out and says, HEY LOOK AT ME!!! If you have any other questions feel free to ask me.
