Third post processed photo. I added a bit of vignette and played with the colour levels and contrast a bit. Any comments? How how I could improve it?
I am getting a little more confident and hopefully I will feel confident enough to offer my opinion on other peoples photographs soon.

There seems to be a bit of a highlight halo around some of the spires, most notably the large one on the right. Those kind of things happen sometimes during contrast adjustments in areas where it goes from really dark to really light and the programs get a little confused at what to do.
Also, the vignette looks a little heavy to me. You can kind of follow the shape that it makes, which generally means too much. If you drop it down just a little, I think it will look a lot nicer.

Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. I have made some changes and agree that reducing the vignette was something that was needed, I can see that now. The highlight halo seems to be caused by the cloud formation on the day as the same effect is apparent in the original photograph. Do you think this is something I should look at removing in photoshop or is it OK to leave it?

see now, i liked the darker vingette. Were you using a wide angle as the tower is leaning. This can be corrected in post processing
