Very interesting with the sky. The composition is unbalanced but its not like you can move buildings or anything.

the lighting of this is so rich - and the low angle perspective really gives the feel of a square - nice

Very nice blending of the old and the new, the reflection is very appealing, I am not sure how the building are positioned relative to one another, but the composition could be tweaked

I love this place, there are so many places you can stand to get wonderful images here. I like your composition and you have managed the exposure nicely.
