First Impressions: Good use of leading line
Exposure: Though the bright light in the reflection forms a good leading line, the actual lights are a big distraction. Bright areas always draw the eye. In this case, being overly bright, keeps the viewer from exploring the rest of the photo.
This is a tough situation to remedy straight from the camera. If you expose for the lights then the rest of the image will probably be black or close to it. Use of a highlight/shadow type adjustment in post processing may help remedy the situation somewhat.
Composition: As stated before, good use of a leading line.
Impact: If the actual lights weren't so bright this image could have more impact. Just need to bring out more detail in the shadows.
Cheers!
Keep shooting.

| This is a tough shot to get when there's so much going on, especially with the small viewing area allowed. I like the stars in the street lamps. I don't much care for the rest of the picture though. Sorry. If you want more details, feel free to send me a pm. I'm kinda wondering if this is Whiterook because it looks like New England. |

| Very narrow aspect ratios always make me feel like it's a snapshot, a composition that you didn't intend, but rather stumbled upon in processing... |
