Overall
Vision
Originality Technique ImpactI have seen many photos of the Eiffel Tower before...and to be honest, most of them bore me completely. This piece is one notable (and exciting!) exception.
Though the subject matter and the angle are not particularly original, the impact of the technique makes up for any deficiencies in novelty. The timing was absolutely perfect; capturing a beautiful illuminated monument at the most beautiful point of a sunset. The orange coloring of the tower perfectly complements the yellow to purple gradient of the sunset. The darkness of the trees at the bottom of the piece force the viewer's focus to be directed towards the point(s) of interest.
The composition of this piece is nearly perfect in symmetry, my only suggestion being to just try and center the tower a tiny bit more (but that's just my OCD coming through). The small street lamps rising from the trees on either side of the picture further strengthen the symmetry by showing tiny near-identical details.
Though the entire image is absolutely breathtaking, my personal favorite element is the presence of the lights and silhouetted buildings UNDER the tower. They evoke memories of an unforgettable childhood trip to Paris, where I was stunned by both the traffic and architecture.
Overall, this piece transcends the normal tourist image of the Eiffel tower and I think that you have taken a rather ordinary subject, and turned it into something extraordinary.
Beautiful job!
Thanks for your critique and your opinion 
I will look at the symetry, I think I might be able to put the tower into the centre.
