Cool looking CityScape photo. I like the S shape highway which lead viewer eyes to the downtown Seattle.
If it possible, I would try:
1. Using a longer lens next time to skip over the fence and capture only part with a lot of skyscrapers in the middle-right of the image and the highway's curve in-front of it.
2. Or if use the same lens and it is possible to walk closer to the fence I would do it. The fence and the road that run parallel to the fence are a kind of distracting my eyes.

I would try to crop out the bottom part, and make the darks a bit brighter. But I like it!

Its a very nice shot, taken at just the right time of day, the traffic trails lead your eye in.
But I would lose the fence & road in the foreground. Cropping that out would make a huge improvement IMO.

Yeah, try cropping the top and bottom of the image - makes a pretty effective letterbox/panorama format.

Cropping the fence turns the S into a C :-/ could the picture have been taken over the fence, so the visible parts of the highway would not have been through the chainlink?

That's nice and clean, and I second what people are saying about the leading lines: I suppose that holds true for a lot of cities with big roads if you do a long exposure. It definitely sets a nice feeling.

Seattle is just beautiful. The photograph looks perfect

I'd be chuffed with that photo but I'd be itching to go back and do it again as it is such a great scene.

Lucky you
