This is a discussion on Sunset on the City B&W within the Critiques forums, part of the Photography & Fine art photography category; I was struggling with this a little but in the end I think it came out alright. Also I changed ...
You've set a nice mood to the shot!
The only thing I might consider here is a bit of a dodge (maybe 10-15%) on the buildings at mid-left.
Hope that helps - Makro

"You have to milk the cow quite a lot, and get plenty of milk to get a little cheese." Henri Cartier-Bresson from The Decisive Moment.
you got a very nice picture here, I liked the way the light shins thru the buildings.
Thanks, Marko and JL. I am going to try dodging a little. The rays of light is the reason I kept this photo at all!
It's a really nice composition JAS.
That little tree sneaking into the corner really helps to set distance across the water to the city. I like that.
I agree with Marko that some more detail in those darker buildings might help in this case.
The colour balance is a bit strange here though. The clouds are quite white, as is the suns light ... but the ice and water areas are quite sepia/yellow. I find that to be a bit of a conflict to my eyes. I think I'd be layering this one up and making that bottom section more white myself.
