i like the line that draws you into the image... the middle building looks funny though... like it's falling backwards... is that lens distortion or does it just look like that?

Quite a nice shot! I second what Syphlix said about the middle building. When I look closely though, it seems it may be an optical illusion caused by the two sloping walls of the building.

I also can't help but feel there may have been a better angle around that location - perhaps you could have taken a shot of the blue buliding to the left, sitting above the water? That way you would have had a simpler compisition as well as had a nice contrast between the yellow lights on the water and the blue lights on the buliding.

I really like this, the whole scene is just very pretty, personally I like the angle you took it from and the curving line of the fountain. The bluish light on the other building is a little distracting though and it doesnt really blend with the rest of the colors.
