Default Iconic Hotel at Dusk, does it sell?

The look and feel of the photo is to show the iconic hotel shining in the night.

I hope this conveys the message.

That's lovely, but I feel it's a bit far to the left.

The hotel definitely stands out. With its shape, it almost looks like a giant sailing ship. Why is the vignetting on this shot uneven? Maybe crop some on the right to even it out. Also, you should keep your horizons level.

Had me rubbing my screen just then, but I think you have a bit of dirt perfectly captured for all eternity about half way between the top of the mast and the top edge.

That's a grey cloud leftovers I will work out on the dark areas to make it even.

Krusty, this is to put more focus on the left side, which is the hotel itself.

I'll try to repost the new adjusted pic.

With so much empty space at the right, I would shoot this one in portrait mode and include more of the hotel and reflection in the shot. As it is, it doesn't seem prominent enough.
