Overall, not too bad of a photo, but it does seem tilted to me.

Not bad, though you need to sort that tilt out.

Fix the tilt like everyones said, but I like the picture, nice view! :thumbup: I think I'd like it more though if the branches at the top didn't hang so low, mainly the ones in the middle that hang down the lowest.

Thank you for your suggestion. what software do you suggest to rotate it. i tried to rotate it with picasa and found out the quality decrease a lot. here is the result.

Thank you for your suggestion. personally, i like the style of the tree. it has a kind of style of Chinese painting, so i included a large part of them. i think what you said is right, the composition of them are not good, and maybe it will give us a feeling of depression. i should take the tress as a theme in another shot. and leave more space between the branches and the distant light. Thank you again.

I don't know why, but I don't like the tree branches at the top. Maybe it's sort of a contrasting kind of thing. But it doesn't appeal to me. But I love the warm amber color.

are those fires?

The amber color is the color of the cloud, i think it is due to the reflection of the city light. Thank you for your comment.

No, they are not fires, but they are working sites with very strong light. and the camera is not able to capture the detail of the light. that is why it seems like 'fire'. Thank you for your comments.
