Hi, Derek, this is a standard pic of Victoria Harbour view. But the brightness of building is not enough. And the building at right and left side of pic is bent in too much. You can use PS to solve this problem.

Firstly, please 'SELECT ALL' the pic. Then click the right key of mouse and slect 'FREE TRANSFORM'. The final selection is 'PERSPECTIVE'. In this case, you can solve the bent situation.

This is a good job too and thanks for sharing ^_^

very nice view and highly detailed - specifically the lights are very nice. A bit sad that the background seems to be too foggy but at all a great shot.

This is one of the best city-scapes that I have seen. The time of the shot is absolutely perfect! As they say, 'timing is everything.' It truly is here. Compositionally, it is first rate. I'm assuming you shot this on the wide end of that lens so the 35mm equivalent was about 42mm. Although I'm a big fan of wideangle shooting, I am finding that the region around 35mm is sometimes the best for good detail and composition. Super work!!

This is a great photo. The wide angle really captured a pamoramitic of the harbor. I disagree about the angle of the building because the buildings on the right are leaning to the right and the building on the left are leaning left and the ones in the middle are straight. The sharpness and the colors are super. GREAT job.

Beautiful picture. I think it's called Victoria Harbour. Nice exposure and color balance. Everything is great, except the buildings are "falling" toward to outside (left and right) of the picture. Some PS work are needed to correct the problem (to bring the buildings straight).
