Hi Dave.. Beautiful sky & colour.! Not sure if you used a tripod or not, i am guessing not, because I think there is a hint of softness in the building detail. My choice for shooting a scene like this is to use say F13ish and a tripod and blend two exposures so there can be a little more detail in the FG without washing out the sky. Tripod fixes both (minor) issues.. Are the two dots hot pixels or aircraft lights. Thinking the later
regards

Don, thanks for your suggestions. I toyed with bring up more FG detail, but preferred just the hint of reflection on the buildings. I also toyed with cropping out more of the really dark area, but thought that the proportional balance went out of kilter. I'm still on the fence about the crop.
