Nice picture, the tower is a little distracting.

The sun setting in the back almost looks like an explosion. Nice shot.

wow, love the colors. The sihlouette of the palm on the right is really effective. I think you might run into some problem with voters about 'late' night since the sun is still visible but nevertheless its a really pretty shot.

Comment by Zed Pobre:
Very pretty colors in the sky, and a somewhat attractive skyline. The sun makes me think that this isn't very late at night, though. Also, the skyline seems very slightly high on the image.

Update: Okay, so it's not a sun, but a gas flare. The arrangement, particularly with the lights in the clouds behind it, make it look like a sunset scene, however, which still leaves me *feeling* like it doesn't really fit the challenge, possibly because I can't get over my first impression now. A title change noting that it is not a sunset might have changed that feeling to a sense of wonder about what exactly is being looked at (e.g. "In Africa, This Is Not a Sunset"). The current title, by blending "today"/"tonight", actively encourages the misinterpretation as a sunset.

Nice range here. The black forefround brings eyes to correct part of photo.
