Hi, appreciate all comments and inputs on what works and how this could have been

shot better. Thanks.

This is a beautiful image of an intriguingly beautiful place. I particularly like the soft colors, and the city is set off beautifully by the subtly dramatic background. The one issue that I can see is the location of the focus of attention--the wonderfully highlighted face of the yellow building on the hill. It's on the right half of the image, and is facing to the right, out of the frame. That makes the image as a whole feel slightly out of balance, but there's not much that can be done about it while holding onto the magic of the scene. One possibility would be to crop in slightly on the left--maybe to just to the right of the large white building on the lower left (or maybe even a little bit more?); that would bring the focus of attention closer to the center, though you'd lose that gorgeous pink cloud. Anyway, it's a really nice image.

Thank you all for your feedback.  Leslie, thank you very much for the detailed feedback.  I did consider trying to move the composition by cropping the white building on the lower left but didn't want to lose the cloud and also part of the mountain in the background.  Might have been able to avoid the sun bouncing off the yellow building but it was already midnight when I took this and couldn't ask my wife to wait much longer for better light!  Was also hoping that some lights would come on in the city but that didn't happen until then.
