Long Exposure of Chicago Skyline

I was at a conference in Chicago and had a free evening so I took advantage of it and took a few shots of the Chicago skyline. I was hoping for the sky to light up but it was not to be. Tried to make lemonade from a lemon sunset I was served up that evening. Would welcome your constructive critiques for improvement.

I like the image. Two things that I would be tempted to do would be 1) to center the Hancock building (though you'll sacrifice some a building or two on the right hand side) and 2) the lights in the buildings seem a bit too bright and yellow to me in relation to the rest of the image. Maybe you could de-saturate and/or darken them. Otherwise really like the subdued look of it. Hope that helps, Rob.

Thanks Rob. You’re right in that I had a few ways to go with the color temperature. I was trying to get as much of the skyline in before it dropped off to basic buildings.
