Hello Elle, greetings from the Critique Club!
First impression of your shot is that, comparing to other entries in the same challenge, most of the viewers could not relate it to their notion of main street.
As you can see, a 6.8 score from commentators shows that you could appeal much more to some selective group, and that they liked it very much.
Composition
The post that you said shouldn't be there is actually the thing that gives a 3D feeling to the image. You feel tempted to shift your head sideways to try and see behind it. It is a bit too much in the middle, so you should move it to the left or the right (depending on what was the best alternative, considering the background).
Technique
It's amazing, but I think nobody realized it was a night shot, it looks like a golden hour, roundabout 6'ish.
Good lighting and the high ISO doesn't show up in the photo.
Processing
Much to my taste, very warm, very moody. A bit of Highlights could have spiced it up a bit.
Overall
A shot that did not appeal to voters, which in itself is not bad, it's just not popular.
Most of the thinking could have been because the people didn't relate to main street.
If you have any questions feel free to contact me.
Regards,
Joao
