Or - did you use a graduated neutral density filter to hold back the brightness in the sky? The lower line of the filter's dark area could be right below the building tops.

| July 20, 2010 @ 12:37pm | I really like th emood this image creates. Kind of a long and emotional road to a far off place. Nicely done.
Because I like thi simage so much...I would like to suggest a tiny change...can you crop off the slight distracting tree in the upper right hand corner? Just a small disctraction to a beautiful image.
Love the people in it too....

| July 22, 2010 @ 2:29am | Thanks all for comments and suggestions.
Actual image was almost destroyed by overexposed sky and dense shadows in foreground. Only part of cloud and the foot bridge were well exposed. First, I put this photo in faulted images, but then I thought give it a dramatic shape. The hollowness over building is due to fill in more light by using Camera Raw. The color distraction on left is due to the color correction in sky, otherwise it was just white. I am ready to share its original image file if anyone of you can help to me process it more better.
The color version of this image is shared below (after incorporating Usha's suggestion). Looking forward to your comments.

Then I generally like B/W's better. I didn't notice the tree on the right side till it was pointed out. A matt would probably get rid of most if not all of it.
Great photo!
I pity the man never loved by a dog!
