A picture I took of my neighborhood during sunset. Do you think the buildings are too low on the frame? Are the colors overly vibrant? Also feel free to comment on anything else.. Thanks

It seems to me that your main focus is on the sky. If thats the case then the buildings are just fine where they are. The colors in this are brilliant! The blue may be a little too blue and takes away from the sunset a bit though (that may just be me I dont know). I would go play around with curves and saturation in photoshop some if I were you. Great shot over all though!

Personally I like the blue, but that's subjective.

I like the composition.. I would even be tempted to say the houses are a tad too high... Again, subjective, based on the fact that only their outlines add to the photograph, the black in the foreground adds nothing (literally!)

Your focal length appears to have distorted the foreground.. Are you able to straighten that so the roof's provide a level horizon?

And a last comment, I would consider cloning out the tv ariels and so on.. I'm not sure they really add anything to the composition.
