A spectacular sunset, indeed, Hanh. As you say, it has to be viewed in its large version: we then see that you did a good job on light management in quite dark and contrasted conditions (good detail in the white tones of the building and hardly any noise).

Said this, to me, you might have been the right person at the right time, but not at the right place. The setting (an unpersonal and interchangeable modern cityscape - in spite of the prominent building) did not help you to give this photo that little transcending touch that makes it pop out against the (too) numerous sunset shots that we can see on the web. We too much feel that you HAD to take this picture without having the time to choose a more original angle or composition. Maybe cropping the left half of the picture could help, but it would remain a rather mainstream image.

Just my personal view, of course, and I admit that it isn't easy to still find original angles for sunset or sunrise shots. So, do feel free to (dis)agree ;o).

Kind regards,

Erik
