The colors are nice but it seems you've oversharpened this image the city skyline has a terrible halo..

Interesting idea with the people packing up and going home. However, the noise in the sky is very distracting.

The picture has a lot of artifacts and is, imo, to oversharpened. The horizon is tilted clockwise. The colors are nice and it looks like a pleasant scene. The title implies doom but the people in the picture look as if they are enjoying themselves.

Looks very grainy or oversharpened.

Just a couple thoughts on this one. Horizion tilt and quite a bit of noise. Whenever you have a waterline it is more times than not a good Idea to straighten on that line. In this case straightening on that line would also correct the vertical lines of the buildings putting them straight up and down instead of leaning to right as they do here.

Noise or pixelation beyond grain, there is quite a bit of it here...somewhat distracting. If your camera does this quite often and use an editor that uses PS filters PS, PaintShop or Digital Image Pro etc...you may want to try the (free) supersmooth filter from //www.xero-graphics.co.uk/ set 2 of the filters packages from the plug-ins page... It cleans up photos quite nicely without over doing it like a neatimage or the likes... It is legal in basic challenges as it works on the whole image. I tilted the horizon and applied that filter to you pick and it becomes and very nice soft and warm photograph. This is a very nice shot.
