The best thing going on in this photo is the lighting of the scene. The city lights behind don't overbear the castle, and help emphasize the coast. Also, the remaining sunlight creates a nice ambiance to the scene, as well as giving the objects in the scene depth. Since dusk and night lighting are difficult, it definitely succeeds in that area.

Another positive aspect of this is that the shoreline gives the castle and city a bit of magnitude and helps make them both seem grand and magnificent.

However, on the flip side, this is an angle and idea that I have seen before. While the coastline does help emphasize the castle, it is also a relatively common shot angle. It's not overly new or exciting. The strength of originality comes from the time of the photo, not the location.
