Interesting view of the ship but the astronomers down there on the wharf are just a wee bit misguided for setting up a scope surrounded by that much light pollution (unless they were looking at the moon their view would be very limited). I downloaded your shot in Photoshop and adjusted the shadow and highlight at 30-20-50, top to bottom in the dialogue box, for both, and the masts popped right out of the sky.
Allee, a nice shot. I find the streetlights in the foreground distracting, but nothing to do about them. I would have cloned all the people out though (just my personal taste). The high side - excellent composition, LOVE the various neon colors in the back round and nicely captured all around, night shots are SO difficult to work with!

intention of arriving safely in a pretty
and well preserved body,
but rather to skid in broadside,
thoroughly used up,
totally worn out,
and loudly proclaiming,
"WOW! What a ride!"'
