Morning Dawns over Los Angeles

This was taken while hanging out the 22nd floor window of a hotel in downtown L.A., Margaret-Bourke White style, at the crack of dawn. It's amazing I never fell out the window entirely. I only have my Canon G6 right now, with the stock lens. What do you think of this shot? C & C welcome!

very good light and exposure. kind of wish i could see more of the right half of the image. just feels cut off imho.

Thank you, viewing-the-invisible! Yes, it does look cut-off, huh. I tried and tried to get my composition where it would look full, rather than abrupt like that, but after that Wells Fargo building there were other things, unattractive buildings etc. preventing me from being able to get a balanced composition. I'm learning how to edit and crop, and stuff like that, but I still don't think I cropped my picture right. Plus it looks maybe too warm in tone. Maybe I should edit the tonality, make it cooler? You can alter the image, if you want to!:) If you do, show me what you did and how I can do it too, so I can learn from you guys. I'm still brand-new here, plus brand-new at digital photography, so...:o

I think it looks greta the colors are fantastic. i think to make it look not cut off .. you could try cropping it at the tallest building to the right.. its seems to build that way from small to large.... maybe... lol

I think it lloks great as is..
