"City Glow"

The Minneapolis Skyline bathed in softness. This image captures the fleeting grace of golden hour, where light becomes memory and buildings become silhouettes of longing.

You're saying "silhouettes" but have pulled up the shadows a ton to show us the buildings, while saying "light becomes a memory" but overexposing the sunlight. I really love the crepuscular rays coming through. But, imho, I think keeping these buildings as silhouettes with a little colour and detail in them, while either exposing for your highlights or HDR exposure blending would have been more impactful. Having some overexposed part at the sun, is obviously fine, because it's a giant orb of bright light in the sky, but this amount and coming through those clouds (which could potentially be exposed or close to it) really bring you there instead of to the skyline where you want it. It's competing with your subjects. Great colours though! Gotta love sunset, right?

Yeah, maybe silhouettes wasnt the best wording here, thats what I get for trying to be poetic with my description, lol. I like that you can see the buildings a little bit, but i see what you mean about competing subjects. Thanks for the feedback! Yes, sunsets are always fun to photograph.
