Hi Troy, I really like what you did with this. There is a dramatic graphic quality to the image which is enhanced by an interesting sky. The composition is also well divided. I was able to straighten the lean on the end buildings by mildly using the lens correction tool in CS5.. Overall nicely handled!!..... OOPs I reposted the original and deleted the corrected version. If so desired play with the tool...

Hey Troy,
Been away so sorry for the late reply. I generally don't mind perspective lean.......so no big deal for me but I did +3 on the vert. Sometimes I feel it even adds to the scene but as you can see.....there can be debate on that and I'm OK if you leave it.
I do think if you select just the skyline and tweak both the levels and brightness/contrast.....to bost some of the duller tones.....it gives it more depth. I reposted pretty agressively to show you an example but as usual.....you can tweak it to your tastes. Finally, I cropped. I didn't feel the LH side sky and clouds peeking in added. You could clone/patch them out.....and that too would work......but hope this at least gives you a few ideas. Let me know your thoughts on the repost as I think the OP comp was very good and all I did was tweak it!
I really like the exposure and the DOF.
Water, sky and buildings all look great.
Dave's repost correcting the lean does look better, but I don't mind the original at all.
Thank you Roman and Dave for the repost. Roman, I do see more pop on yours.
Thank you guys for the idea, I will do more tweaking and correct the distortion.
I fixed the distortion and give a bit more contrast but decided to keep the crop. The reason is because of the low building on the right hand side. If I crop it half way through, then it would not complete the skyline of how I saw it.
Thanks again guy.
