Would appreciate some C&C on the one below - composition and/or any PP that may ipmprove this.

Very pretty, the birds look surreal. Just a little thing, but what is happening with the tree to the left of the lit building? The top of it goes red, as do some of the tips of the building?

Fantastic! In the smaller version I thought I was going to hate the birds but in large version they are beautiful infact they make the composition more pleasing. Without them I'd want to see slightly less sky, but in this case the rule of thirds begs to be broken. And depending on the size of the print I would worry about tips of the spires, as Flo mentioned. The tree does not bother me though. Seeing the original might help to know what caused it, no matter its great as is!

Thanks for the feedback- to tell the truth I had not noticed the red highlights in the tips of the trees or on the top of the buildings so I had to go back to the original. The red showing through the trees is just the sunrise as this was shot in the fall and the leaves had fallen, so the red through the bare branches. The red on the tips of the spires is again the red sunrise, but showing through open pieces of iron sculpture at the peaks. Now that I see it , it will draw my eye everytime I look at it, so may need to go back and tone down the saturation in those spots just a touch before getting it printed. By the way, this is the view from our apartment in Poland, so I will have a few more chances to catch views like this before we move back stateside in the fall.

Thanks again for your comments!
