Simply an excellent photograph! The tone,texture and movement are very interesting,
I like the way you handeled a not so easy subject!
 
Nice shot. Left swing to get plane of focus? How long was this exposure? Not sure about the railing in the lower right corner. tim
 
Very fine image, but I wish you used the front swing to bring the right side of the image into focus. Also, the railing on the right corner seems to distract my eye. Could this image be retaken or cropped to remove that rain and to focus the whole scene?

Exposure to prevent the glossy white generators from blowing out completely while retaining the dark shadows must have been tricky. Don't see the railing as a problem - the thing that grabs my eye is that it needs rotating about 3 degrees clockwise to get the verticals, erm... well... vertical. Must be a great location to pack a camera around in!

Compositon and subject matter are fine but I think you could do better technically. The picture is tilted to the left by several degrees. As a consequence of the front swing the upper right corner with the windows is out of focus which is disturbing because the foreground and the windows in the background are sharp again.
