I think the shot is great except for the lens distortion. It is the first thing I noticed, buildings look like they are falling into the center.

I think lens distortion adds in this case, it looks like space vacuum sucking buildingds up:) it gives this quirky look, I really like it, 5/5 for creativity :) and Patience

Great idea and well executed. The lens distortion works wonderfully here. Nice work!
