It does give the feeling of claustrophobia a bit, and it is a nice play on the topic for this challenge. I find the clouds a bit strange ... they are blueish at left and at far right, but grey in the middle right. The bright colours combined with the grey overall works well in this case. ~8

great image of my 2nd fav city, this keeps the eye busy and the color pops against the grey sky

Very cool shot. I love the shape of the negative space. I like the layout with most of the color along the bottom. Other than a couple of words the colored portions are abstract. You get a sense of all of these structures built by man without a person in sight.
