Good balance of the lights with some detail in the sky. I'd level the horizon, though. If that cuts off detail you want to keep at the bottom edge, you can probably get away with doing the leveling with a Distort, pulling up the upper left corner.

Hi Ganesh

Nice to see a cityscape for a change... I would level first then crop out about half of the sky... I don't think there is enough interest there for inclusion of so much. I would also selectively sharpen the city areas.

Hi Ganesh, nice city scape...I would crop out about three quarters of the sky as it will focus more attention on the city lights.
