Is there anything in particular you're looking for feedback on with this shot?

My first reaction (being a Wellingtonian) is that the monochrome doesn't do justice to the great light colours that the city seems to have. But that should be put aside since not everyone lives in Wellington

My second reaction is that there is a lot of dark are in the photo that doesn't seem to be contributing, but that can't really be left out because of the power lines. Which brings me to my next thought which is: is the focus of the picture the city or the power lines? It feels like it's the power lines because they're the most prominent feature of the photo.

It looks like you got a nice exposure on this shot. Personally, I'm just not quite feeling the composition or the B&W though.
