yakkosmurf - This shot has a nice thirds composition, and also some interesting depth. The Kremlin steals the show here. The problems I have with the photo is the throg (spelling?) of people in the photo - they seem to be cut off, and they make it seem too much of a tourist shot. This is still a nice memory shot, but with all those folks there, it just makes it a vacation photo. Btw I spent some time in Europe and realize the problems with trying to avoid this - good luck! - you either have to get up and out by 7 am or wait for a bomb scare to not get tourists in there.

Also - the sky is interesting but I think it could use a little more saturation. Maybe a polarizer would have worked here. Funny that I didnt even notice th cranes till I read your writeup.
