great shot! great contrast and collors.
how did you shoot this?

[Khaled L.J]

well ...
actually ... it is a combination of 2 photos ...
because I couldnt get the view in the bottom of the photo ... with the tip of the tower in one shot ...
so I took 2 separate shots ... & merged them in Adobe Photoshop ...
played a little bit with the ( Levels ) & ( Color Balance ) ... to get this result ...

I am glad that u liked it ...

Welcome to DPS ... but if you want critique and comment, then it will be the appropriate critique forum you are after (thread moved). Also, please note the "600px max on longest side" rule that applies across the whole site.

Thanks,

I think you need just a little more space above the sky scrapper to let it breathe a little into the rest of the frame. I think you have it cropped a little to tightly. However the cool blues and depth of field is great. Nice colors and compostion I would have just left a little more room on top not much. Please try posting some EXIF data on each of the two images you used to make the final image.

Not when I'm doing a quick spot of moderation before lunch

I think the colours are excellent - blue, green and yellow fit well together. Is that the natural lighting of this scene?

I am not so convinced about the composition. In particular, I think the main tower is a bit too near the centre of the frame and awkwardly truncated at the top. I think it might work better to have the centre line of the tower a third of the way in from the left and to leave some space above the top of the tower. Moving the frame up would also removed the greenery that pops up at the bottom of the frame and looks rather untidy.
