This is downtown where I live, looking across at a neighbouring town.

Nothing? I guess this really isn't a good place for photographers.

This is a great shot! The sky seems brighter than I would expect for the way the lights are standing out, I like that too. I wonder if you cropped out to the bottom of the clouds if it would look even better

Thank you! How do you mean about the clouds? Do you mean crop the top of the image down?

Agreed, also the lights are a really weird color, is this raw or have you played around in PS a lot with it? . What time of day/night was this taken?

I adjusted the tone curve and highlights slightly in Lightroom, but nothing in Photoshop. It was taken pretty late and the sky was actually quite black.

Can you post the original as well please, just like to see the differences.

I was meaning to keep the bottom of the image up to the bottom of the clouds, removing the top portion of the scene that has the coulds in it. Was really just an idea, I think it might give it a good balance. It's all a matter of opinion of course

I really like this photo. It is very professional looking to me. Great job!

[Adαm]

Thanks

When I'm next in Lightroom I will export the original and have a play with the cropping like you said. I have Lightroom and all my photos on a portable hard drive and I don't have it with me right now.

the sky seems a bit bright for me!

I think if you got the shot while the sky was real pitch black, that would look more awesome imo.

Nevertheless, awesome shot bro!

cool. the water looked very still.. like it was frozen.. nice shot..

[xXx-Treme]

The first thing I notice is that boat moving in foreground and that ruins the shot for me, as it draws too muchj attention...
City is kind a soft, what kind of a lens did you use? Well as i promised the original and stuff, give us also the exif ISO, f nubmer and exposure
