so let me explain myself
I mean that you've pushed too far your lovely sat slider. If you look at the bakground buildings, the color channel is way too strong for a luminosity channel that you've left fairly high.

Atmosphere and pollution make the far objects look uncontrasted and desaturated. If you try to reverse that, you will end up with a false-looking pic

Let me apologise myself if i wasn't clear in my first message.

Clear enough, but I still like my picture. Thanks for the first rate critique.

Strange pinkish cast to the foreground buildings and over exposed background. Seems like early morning.

I didn't know there were so many DPCers in St. Louis. Lots of arches in this challenge, from every angle possible. I like how the ends of the arch end up on the top of the buildings, kind of like the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

the color cast seems off to me.
