Anything you guys would do differently or that you see that should be fixed before being printed out? I'm looking to go probably 20x30 with this one.

I like it but personally I would like to see the vertical lines fixed in post before printing.

Agree with Dave - the verticals on the left are non-vertical... shot would have been better with several photos stitched together to avoid this.. :P

Amazing image. I think it would be a 10/10 if the verticals were corrected. It would be great if the image you posted was a cropped version and not the original framing. I straightened it below, but without the full size original file in front of me, I don't know if you would be able to keep the water and far left/right edges.

I kind of liked the original, but seeing the straightened one I'd go with that too. Hopefully you have more picture to work with; otherwise try the adaptive wide angle filter in PS if you have that. It'll let you straighten the picture without losing anything - but it'll have to stretch out the sky in order to do that. I don't think you'll lose too much detail though.

Other comment: the selective color mask seems a bit obvious to me, I'd try making it more gradual (maybe a subtle gaussian blur on the mask, like 200 px radius :p).

Also, I'm just noticing the blue lighted windows on one of the center buildings. I'd think about making that B&W. I know there are a few other colored lights throughout the scene, but now that I've seen that building, it somewhat draws attention away from the light projectors.
