great tone, it gives a somehow uneasy feeling to the photo, cityscapes are usually uneasy to me. I do agree with the commenters: it grabs my attention and it's definitely not an average lovely city photo.

The portrait orientation definitely places a nice part in this landscape because of the tower. The coloring and the shape of the tower give it almost an "other worldly" feel. The tower looks like it's leaning, but your horizon is straight. If you could have adjusted the tower in PS, it probably would have helped. Cool idea, though.

nice color editing, wish your camera was leveled so the tower would have been parallel to the edge.

Very striking! It's just a wee bit too pink for me, but I'm pretty conservative on editing. It really does grab you the minute it pops up tho and I like it alot!

I think the CN Tower should have been a bit more of the side...

The composition is interesting, but the colors are very strange.

great picture and color. I would have liked to see the tower being straight though.

Nicely composed. The red color cast seems a bit off to me, though.

I think of only natural elements in a portrait. If it is a landscape portrait then emphasize only the landscape person portrait = main emphasis on the person
