Photographing after sunset can be rewording by letting you take an ordinary scene by day and turning it into an exciting colorful photograph.  Reflections can offer opportunities to add an additional dimension to your image.

This photograph submitted for your consideration shows a great deal of thought by the photo-artist.  You will note the sky is not completely black.  This tells us that the photographer wanted us to get the feeling of night and still have detail in the tops of the building and the sky.  You will also note that the body of water acts as a tapering leading line down to the tall building in the distance.  It appears that a relatively small f-stop was used when you take a look at the star points around the street lights.  I don’t think this was caused by a filter. 

I would like to make a couple of recommendations.  First I think the image could be lightened up a little to give us some more detail.  Also a little of the sky and the water could be cropped to place the horizon on the center line.  This will focus our attention on the leading lines going to the single point perspective.
