The sky appears to be oversaturated.

I love the colors. I might crop out just a touch of the foreground (where there are no lights)

Very nice! My one complaint is totally related to the challenge topic- There is nothing in the frame to give any indication that this is a wide angle shot. It needs something to give the viewer perspective.

Nice photo with beautiful colors, I just wish the horizon weren't so centered - this image would be great improved IMHO if the bottom strip of mostly-black were cropped off.

A grad ND filter would have helped bring out the shadows while keeping the sky saturated.
