Yes, this was shot at 18mm, closer to the ground. No tripod, so had to straigten out the image a bit while post processing. I have the original sized image with me, so I should give it another pass sometime, because now that I see after a couple of days of processing it, I find obvious errors(?) too.

This is a great shot...very interesting. I think what Shaun meant by interesting foreground is that you can capture this exact photo with a wider lens, but since there will be less distance between you and your focal point (the building), the bokeh (quality of the blur) in the foreground and background will be much better...it will make the building the focal point while giving the rest of the photo more interest.

You did go a little heavy on the post process though...looks like the building is glowing. Might want to blend that out a little more or increase the exposure for the sky....looks a tad too underexposed to me.
