Yo, thought I'd try to be a bit constructive and give you some critique as requested =)

[link]

(from the link) I have just added an additional layer with mask and hardlight blend mode, using the orange from your sunset to try get the towers to gel a little more.

What I personally find useful for highlights, is copying the entire image onto a new layer, increasing the exposure, then use the hue/saturation tool to colourize the entire image to the colour of your light (orange in this case) - use a mask on this layer to hide the entire thing, then take a soft brush with 10% opacity and just white in (on the mask) any areas where the sun would strike, this ensures you can alter the image later on and that the details are not lost.

I've probably overdone the image I linked since I'm at work using a mouse and cs2 =(

The piece is so complex with all your lighting and textures, I think it looks really good considering the amount of work involved!

Thank you very much. I followed your advice, and highlighted some parts by using your technique. I got the tower to gel more, but not as strong as in your example. You know, I'm only using an old CS2 myself so I'm kind of limited.

Ah I see, I gotta say that my photomanipulation got 1000 times easier once I could alter the exposure of an image instead of using levels etc - Lightroom and PScs3 have that feature so that software upgrade (when you get it) will make a notable difference, many pennies need saving =(

EDIT: Seawad, as you can see, I followed some other external advice and I made a few more changes with the water and the colors ont the right side of the image.

Awesome, loving the water texture! The lighting of that righthand building now defintely looks like it comes from the sun - perfect. :happybounce:

EDIT : I've just added a few improvements: I desaturated colors on the left, I removed the lens flare, and I changed the water reflections in a more realistic way.
