I think it is an amazing catch. I think some people may say you have too much sky, but i like it A LOT. The only suggestion i would give is to crop out the tops of the buildings below. It is a little distracting to me.

But other then that, it looks amazing.

Thanks! I'll try cropping out the buildings. As for the sky, there aren't many day's where the clouds are like that so I figured I would capture it. Thanks for the compliment and suggestion.

Incredible sky shot!!! I'm wishing I could see more of the cityscape though. So I personally wouldn't crop that out. I would put more of it in(if possible from the original). Especially cause they look like they are silhouettes(sp??).

The second one on the previous reply is where its at. Perfect contrast, would of been even more amazing if the buildings were all silliohetted (spell check ). But over all i like them a lot.

I like image #3. I feel it has better balance. Love the sky!

Definitely #3 for me as well. Did you try darkening the buildings? Not sure what program you use, but adjusting the blacks and contrast would work in lightroom.

Again Great shots!!!
