This is a great location, love the reflections, lights, architecture - have uploaded a mod as there are a couple of things I may have done differently...however that is just my opinion though, and by no means right 
Didn't add in the description for the mod that I also just cloned out the little bit of debris in the water, and also the feint white cloud above the large building on the left.
Cheers,
Chris

Hi Phil, and Happy new year.
The master of the verticals!
Questions and answers in order: Dynamic range, - I believe your lost actual black by lifting just a little too much.
White balance: still too blue, and the blue channel is over saturated.
Composition: I like the rails at the corners; it has not particualr point of focus, so dont see the point in varying from the symmetry you have.
So Ive uploaded a mod with all of the above addressed. And sharpened a teeny bit. Its also a very good shot. I guess the lights are on in your building because you were late taking this shot! May high rise buildings here maintain light on
to try to miminise the number of migratory bird deaths that occur from crashing into unlit windows in the dark.
Regards
Willie

Happy New Year, Willie!
Thanks as always for the detailed critique and of course the mod.
I must remember to check the blacks after lifting shadows
I reckon I should have left white balance as shot.
Lights still on in the building quite simply because it was still full of workers but interesting point about the birds.
I think I may take on board all the comments and repost in the main gallery.
