That can't be Melbourne! There's not a cloud in the sky! Haven't you seen "He Died with a Falafel in his Hand"? You must have photoshopped all the rain out :P.

Hehe, it's a great cityscape shot. I think if you could have cropped out that sill or whatever it is at the bottom of the photo I would have given it 10, but it'll have to stay at 9. lisae

Nice cityscape shot. I like how the horizon is cut perfectly into the tall building at just the right elevation. I thinK i know where someone might be going for the next challenge!! Good job.

This is a nice cityscape... I like the composition of the tallest building on the left... the strip of ? across the bottom of the frame is a bit of a distraction from the overall image.. maybe that could have been cropped out? The horizon is nice and level as well... good attention on that :) - setzler

too dark around the buildings

Only thing I would have done differently is crop the grey from the bottom

I think the border at the bottom do not bring much and even if I am not a fan of the third rule, the horizon line in th emiddle bothers me. Otherwise I like a lot how the hoorizon line reflect in the building and I like the perspective as well. 5. Lionel

SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!

The continuation of the remote skyline in the mirrored windows of the skyscraper is gorgeous! It gives a very ethereal quality to the building itself.

Far from me in Oregon. Lovely looking city. Good luck to you. Score 7 Justine

Good skyline picture and certainly meets the challenge. I think it would have more punch to it if had more contrast and the color more saturated. Or to completely remove the color and do a b & w with more contrast. The colors are too drab to really add virtue to the image imo and that's why I have made these suggestions. However, you MUST shoot to please yourself. I hope these comments help and not hurt. :-) Good luck in the challenge! Grayce aka Gracious

Neat shot. It seems to me it would benefit if the horizon line wasn't so dead center though. Perhaps just a but higher would make the building on the left seem taller.

I really like this, but the grey line at the bottom is very distracting. 7 - Konador

One of the places I'd love to visit someday! Overall, it's a cool shot... my suggestions would be to pan a little higher to eliminate the ledge, and to try not to split the shot in the center so much where the sky meets the city...
