A little bit too dark on my monitor. Pretty shot, though.

Beautiful reflection, but I wish we had a few details in the shadows.

The only improvement I can imagine is more detail in the shadows.

I almost never make comments like "too dark" but in this case I think seeing those beautiful structures at least with some detail might have helped me. Very nice silhouette and great sky coloring. Good Luck.

Very lovely and elegant. Very nice creation. There's just one spot in the clouds, on the upper right, a dark spot about straight up from the second building, that bugs me. A minor detail, but it really grabbed my attention. 8
