Colors do look great . The clouds add a nice texture. Did you apply any effect in PS to soften? The buildings almost have a fine fuzzy layer around them (not a bad thing - I like the effect which is why I ask...)

Jason, Shuva ... what I did to this image was to increase the contrast a little bit and add a Sunset layer effect (Virtual Photographer plugin) at 30% opacity which added some red to the color.

Jason, I don't think it added any kind of effect to soften the image but I can double check (or Jason you can try the Sunset effect at home). I do, however, know how to achieve a soft focus effect if you're looking for that.

Shuva, what I did to yesterday's photo was to remove the heavy red overtone ... pretty much the opposite to what I did to today's image. So if they look the same it's probably just coincidence ... or maybe my mind really likes this color tone? ;) Both images did come out of my new 70-200mm lens which does a great job capturing true color.

This picture is great, i like the idea of making the left side very busy (buildings, takes up the entire screen) and then having a trail off effect as you move to the left, cool effect.

I meant move to the right (for the last part of my previous)!!!!!

The soft effect might be from the sunset filter - that plugin seems to do kind of halo blur that doesn't take away from sharpness but gives it a kind of dreamy look...
