Yup I woulda shot that too ...nice grab

Thanks Joseph. Gimme some critique, if you see it. While I am satisfied with the composition, the photo did come out a bit grainy in the dark parts. What would your settings look like?

Thanks for the comment though!

haha i was viewing it on my phone earlier.
its a nice shot but of course there are areas to improve any photograph.

take it bak into photoshop an see if you can bring out any of the details with the city . leave the mist/fog alone in the back left its a nice area see if you can get the fountain in the bottom left to pop out as well. you may have to do several layers to accomplish this without it looking too funky but definitely reduce the shadows and the blacks in the city raise the whites for the fountain just try and get as much detail out of it as you possibly can so a viewer has more to look at then a beautiful sky.
if you want me to show you what i mean just send it over to me and ill take a crack at it.

nice PGH shot.

My attention is drawn to the sun, the river near it, and the trees on the lower right, because of the light and saturation there.

See if you can bring up the saturation and tones in the river and two bridges, nearer the point, pull some detail out of the point, fountain, green space, the two bridges, and the first depth of buildings downtown. They can stay a bit bluer, being in the shadows. Reduce the tones and saturation in the trees nearby. It would be nice to be pulled into that bottom left third a bit.
