I like the colour range in this image, especially in the sky. Not sure about the bleed from what may be neon lights … is this usual for HDR images? I haven't done any HDR work so not sure about the parameters.
The reflections are shown beautifully. The technique really seems to suit this image.

Gus, it is great, you bring this city to life!. The building on the far right see tilted. Does the picture need CW rotation?

Gus, I love the comp and the HDR is awesome.... A quick shift in perspective takes it over the top for me....

The colors in the sky and reflection in the lake fit the building well. Really like the colors in this image. The building on the right do look suffer from distortion.
