too saturated and buildings in the bottom left are fisheyed

The big shiny building in the middle is the tallest building in the world and when you are that close to it you need to sacrifice some things especially when your trying to maintain as long a focal length as possible (16mm), potentially the buildings in the bottom left of the frame that are largely unimportant. Now what you also need to know is those buildings are ground level and I was on the 42nd floor.I have minimized any possible issues that would come into play here and the colors are sick. Now looking at your profile you haven’t uploaded anything so before leaving comments as rude as you have why don’t you let us all see how beautiful and unique your work is.

okay man calm down. I know what the Burj Khalifa is. I gave you two actionable critiques, I am not saying the photo is totally bad or I could do it better. Peace

Is this really how you talk. You're saying this image is totally bad? You should definitely upload some images before passing any sort of judgment and especially in the manor that you do.

Thank you auto correct

no mate I was saying that it is NOT totally bad

This is a solid image all around and the minor distortion on the bottom left doesn't seem to bother me much. However, I do think it is a bit over saturated and complex with colour, simplify the image would help it a lot.

What I don't like is you've done a terrible job of blending day and night. Looks like you pulled a simple gradient mask from the top left of the image towards the middle-ish right to blend the two exposures. Yeah...and too much saturation for my taste.

You are nearly correct but not quite, congratulations on your skills of analysis.
