 Yes I know it breaks the rule of thirds with it's centred skyline but I think it works better like this than cutting out the great clouds at the top or the reflection. The centre building too may be against the rules but tough.

Glasgow city, shot from the bells bridge looking west out to Dumbarton

Post processing was only a crop, didn't even sharpen coz i like the hazy look.

The colors in the water are the most interesting part of the image. The skyline isn't particularly noteworthy, and I'm unable to identify a specific element which you framed as the subject.

Nice shot. Silhouettes aren't sharp though.

This is a really nice setting - I love the contrast between the industrial, nature and residential. This looks very much like a place called The Gorge where I live in Victoria, B.C - and I always find it a dramatic place to shoot in the early morning and sunset. Good luck with this one.

oooh gorgeous! there is a slight tilt to the right, i think. you'd be surprised how a bit of tilt can influence a viewer. it is unsettling and even if it goes unnoticed thes is an uneasy impression that something is "wrong". Do you know the measure tool trick in photoshop? Its under the eyedropper - draw a line along a visual that should appear straight (here the center tower and its reflection) then choose rotate canvas arbitrary. If i rotate our tower .32 degrees clockwise it looks better to me.
