The Ritz Carlton in Half Moon Bay. A single exposure shot at dusk. Most of the work in photoshop was cleaning up the lawn, color grading, and a little dodging/burning.

Have you tried cloning lights into the dark windows? I think it would make this photo perfect.

I did clone in a bunch of lights in the windows and didn't like the look as much, so I got rid of it. For office buildings and commercial spaces I think it can really help an image but for a hotel it doesn't feel as necessary to me.

I personally don't mind the interior lights being on and off in this shot. As a former golf pro and avid golfer I got pumped when I saw this hahah. Great mix of architectural and golf course photography. Hope I get to play there someday.
