Purple Dreams

I especially like the impact this picture makes because of the stunning colors and aura around the building in the middle, it looks like a dream!

I do have some suggestions. While the aura around the middle building gives this picture some extra "oomph", I'm not a big fan of the other buildings surrounding it. I think it takes away the beauty of the sky because it distracts too much. As it is, while beautiful, the picture isn't terribly original. Not your fault, don't worry, I hardly post any original pictures I think <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/> But to make it a bit more interesting you could consider to crop the picture so the left and right buildings are cut off. The sky itself is at it's best in the middle of the frame as well, to the left it loses it's edge a bit.

I'm not always sure when I suggest a crop, since it's one of those things you have to see before you know if it's going to work, but perhaps you could try it! I think it might make the picture a bit more centered on what's important - the sky and it's colors - and would take care of any distractions.

To explain the star rating I gave:
- Originality I didn't give too high because sky pics are something you see a lot, but it's also something I think could be improved by some cropping or editing that would make it stand out amongst all the other sky pictures.
- Vision is something I don't really care for. It's cool when people have a vision in mind when they take a pic and it can add something, but I hardly ever do it myself. I just take pictures of things I think are beautiful, but perhaps that is a vision in itself <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/b/b…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Big Grin)"/> Anyway, IMO there's nothing wrong with that, so I don't really care for the vision rating.
- For a picture like this you probably had to tweak your settings to get it right and I can see you used PS to edit, so 4/5 because you showed you don't just shoot in auto and upload instantly! <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
- Impact I gave almost full stars because like I said (most importantly <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/w/w…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Wink)"/>) this sky is just stunning. It's why I clicked on the picture to begin with and I'm sure many others did too! I didn't give full stars because of what I've said above here, with some cropping or the like this could be that more beautiful.

I want to reiterate that I love this picture and I think it's gorgeous, but a critique wouldn't be useful if I didn't give suggestions. I hope you like my critique and judge it to be fair. I wish you all the fun and luck with photography, see you around <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s…" width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)"/>
