A bit of leaning at the edges from the distortion of the wide-angle shot, but what a lovely scene. I like the light and the character of the clouds, and the fact that the buildings are so crisp for their size in the photo.

Absolutely wonderful! The sky is gorgeous, the building are fabulous, I just can't say enough about this photo! The composition and detail are great. I have no problem giving this shot a 10!

Awesome sky, amazing that you can still get a good exposure on the cityscape. Polariser or graduated ND in use perhaps?

Impressive almost 3d effect. Nice colors and strong effect from the sky. Very well worked.

Nice shot, I don't really care for the thick black border with this one though.

Good question! Nice cloud formations but the colors in the buildings seem off to me for some reason and the balance is just slightly off, maybe just a touch more building and a little bit less sky it would have seem more balanced to me.

Ok, those are some nice clouds. I want them on my picture :) I'm giving you an 8 for those luscious clouds

This one jumps out at me for some reason. I like the dramatic look of the sky and clouds. Looks like there is quite a bit of lens distortion (parallax?) or whatever it's called. What lens were you using? it almost looks like it was a fisheye lens.
I can't decide if this would benefit from running it through one of those lens distortion correction programs, or not. The distortion itself may be adding to the dramatic effect.

I like the colors in the sky. The buildings seem to lean in to the center a bit.

Amazing cloud formations there, it almost takes all the attention away from your urban landscape - 9.

Good representation of the humbling effect of nature over man. This shows that man's greatest attempts at urbanization is smal indeed. Great technical quality. Cloud detail and framing is outstanding.

That's a spectacular sky and a good choice of buildings for the foreground.

This is a very nice image. I like it alot. The sky and the light on the buildings is great.

I like the photo overall but would have preferred more of the buildings and less of the sky. Also the buildings on the two ends seem to be caving into the middle.

Great Sky! Beautiful colors. Very, very nice picture.

Needs more ground and less sky. However, with a sky like that, I can hardly blame you for pointing up. ;)
