Like the reflections and composition....but it's way over sharpened.

and the last glass of champagne has been drunk

It somewhat appears that way, but looking at the original full size doesn't show it. I will investigate further.

Like B&W photography and it seem to me you were trying to do a little bit of HDR.
It's fine for me.

It was late in the day just before the sun started to set. I also set my camera on a tripod and took several shots from the same place and then I was able to stack the images in Photoshop and just paint out the people who were walking around! There weren't too many of them, but it makes it a quick and easy job to remove a few.
