This is a really amazing shot... like it very much.
btw, can i ask do you use Manual focus on this sort of shot?
if it does, which part of the photo you use it as focus point?...thanks

The picture appears to have a slight lean to the right.
I feel a lot of the black sky could be cropped out as it doesn't do anything for the composition.
The exposure looks ok.
I do like it.

I wonder how it would look if shot around dusk (blue hour).

@Kelvinkcm
Yes manual focus as most likely the camera will have trouble focussing.
I would focus somewhere around the lower tower (where there is a bit of contrast).

@Kelvinkcm : Thanks !! Actually, I didnt use Manual focus. Auto focus was actaully good, but i kept my Apeture number was high enough to have everything is focus.

@RichardTaylor : Thank you for your suggession for cropping photo. Will do that for sure to see the results.

I think I am going back there to click the same frame around the dusk and also at sunset. I am sure its gonna be very beautiful !!!

that tree is increadibly distracting, and for some reason it appears to be pretty soft...

Did you take this at the school up on the hill? can't remember the name.

I took at Kerry park seattle. Very nice place to click some downtown photos.

If you are luck enough you will see Mount Rainer as well in day time
