If you have a chance to read the SF novel "Cities in Flight", you will know that this is the most perfect cover. Fantastic combination of your astrophotography and great cityscape. I have a feeling of upward motion, like the city is going to space.
I'm thinking I know whose shot this is, and I have to say, It is a top 5. No questions asked. Well done. Well edited. Compositon is right on. And congrats on a stunning image. 10!!!!!!
Cool! This is really well done. I would've boosted the contrast a bit and get the blacks blacker because it seems a little flat especially where the water is, but I like the composition.
What a wonderfully beautiful image, however, I find three things that distract for me, the yellow orb seems a bit out of place, the blue neon building off center, and the lack of reflection of the moon in the water.
I can see the whole shot as a slow motion clip from a movie. All the building, land and water being sucked by the giant star. That yellow fella there doesn't stand a chance either!
First off, I think this image has a ton of potential, but I would make two recommendations for making it even better - that yellow orb at the top left really doesn't fit and detracts from the otherwise fine appearance of the image. The other thing, which isn't really neccessary but would probably look really cool, is to get a reflection of the moon in the water.
