I agree with the previous two comments. The main subject that I want to land upon is the distant city with the red glow, but the foreground buildings keep bringing my eyes back to them and that's not the 'pretty' part of the image. The tallest building interrupts the nicest part of the image which extends to the left of that building. So, to frame the center part of the shot with the tall building (or just part of it) framing the left side would improve this shot a lot. Maybe if you could just hop over to the next roof in the center or to the one on the right (it's closer) and compose the shot from there ;)
BTW, good idea for a nighttime shot. I think you have a great area to work with. edit spelling

| I like the angle of the shot. Perhaps try a closer crop that removes the road and the building on the right, leaving the group of three main buildings on the left. I would also crop the top down to just below the dotted lights over the tallest building. This gives them more impact, IMHO. To me, the sky also seems to have some artifacting happening that shows some brush strokes? Maybe a little more digital noise removal or a guassian blur to smooth that out. |

| I wish the glow were a larger component of the composition. I do love the red glow. I find the slightly over exposed windows and roadway in the foreground distracting. I think to make this work you'd have to find another vantage point, probably in another building. Perhaps on one of the middle floors of the bldg in the middle. Shoot for a composition with the tall building on the left filling the left frame with the glow and far buildings mirrored in the water. Just a thought. |

| I love night / cityscape shots. This is similar to one of my photos; high vantage point, night-time, skyscrapers on the horizon. Your coloring is great here, nice job. -BB |

| I have always liked city shots from the top of buildings. |
