This is an utterly gorgeous image. The way in which you have captured the light - spilling over the grass, but largely absent from the buildings - creates a glorious balance, with the intersection between ground, tree and cityscape creating a spiral effect that leads the eye in, ultimately drawing it to the radiant sun itself. The way these three sections of the image are also in a 2:1:1/2 ratio is also really satisfying. The predominance of black and gold with accents of red compliment the sophisticated architecture.
I'm not sure if you used a graduated filter for this - if you didn't, it'd be a great way of retaining detail on the grass in the foreground. In my view, the loss of detail right at the front detracts a little. But not much - I'm really being picky there!

What do you think?

This is a really great scene!

First I'd like to say that I really love how you've managed to capture both a very nice sunset and the beautiful city to the side. It's an extremely lovely balance.

The church (I assume that's a church) has a glow about it due to the sunset, which really off sets the architecture of all the buildings.

Laying down to capture this photo was a really good choice, and it obviously paid off. Your eyes travel all the way up the grass to meet a lovely sunset, which really is pleasing to the eye

I really like this photo
