Abit tight I feel, perhaps can try to compose with more bridge on the right and cut off the two left most buildings?

I was referring to the JPEG compression process. I think you downsized the quality too much, maybe to save disk space. End up the photo looks low on details. But I guess the main reason for the 'flatness' is the haze, causing flat lighting.

Hi Draken413, Thanks for the C&C. This is the first time shooting this scape. I will definitely try again. And also time to buy a UWA lens.
Hello Uncle ZCA, I actually sized it in Photoshop and down load from Photoshop to flicker for J-peg. I now able to get 150 kb or more for one picture but i cannot control from flicker to CS using large size for maximum quality. So I dont know how to keep it consistent. Yes it was also a hazy sunset. Will try again for sure. Thanks.

Technical issues:
- Uneven exposure across the building. Perhaps there was a strong light shining on the upper and left portion of the building.You could try to bracket multiple exposures to balance out the exposure. Merging might be tricky though :sweat:
In terms of composition, I felt the building was presented too 'straight-on'. Doesn't look "wow", nor do I see what you're trying to show in your photo. The light trails (from the cars) aren't really contributing to the photo.
The sky is kinda feature-less as well....

This shot was taken while waiting for my brother to finish his work. He is working inside there.
Ya, exposure is very uneven due to the lighting of the building. This is a Pano shot. If I need to do multiple exposures and merging, then I must do this for 5 different shots and will be in total 15 shots to get it right before I stitch it.
Yes composition is no wow for this one. I have to try this maybe very early in the morning with no cars or less cars.
Thanks again.

the exposure for the #48 is a lot better than this. However, this one is tricky as the building is unevenly lighted up and different color temperature also.
Other than methods mentioned by ZCA, you can try using a black card.
I am a little different from ZCA in terms of the straight on look, I quite like it except that all the verticals and horizontal have to absolutely straight for it to work.
A bit of light in the sky will help also.

Hello Uncle Coolthought, yes #48 is much better on the lighting. Ya lo, I always forget to put the black card in my camera bag.
But of course I will try again.
Thanks for your C&C.

just something I didn't mentioned why I like this kind of shot. It reminded me of the architectural drawing of the building. Clean, straight, even..... minimalist sort in terms of the lines. This is why the verticals and horizontals really have to straight.

#55 is nice! :thumbsup:
I wish the lady was more prominent though. You seem to be in 2 minds about whether to capture the lovely sunset or 'tell a story' by making use of your subject.
Also, "cutting her into 2" with the horizon isn't quite so pleasing.
#56 reminds me of Lower Seletar, though I'm pretty sure this is somewhere else?
My main nitpick is that there is a lack of details in the trees. Something like #55 would be preferable to me

Good Morning Uncle ZCA, Thanks for the C&C. Sunset was taken in McRitchie.
#55 - I was waiting for the lady to go away. She did not and I have to hurry to take the sunset.:bsmilie:
#56 - I try to give a little more lights to the trees but look unnatural because it was quite dark already. Btw, I also clone out the lady and here shadow.
Thanks

I like #57 :thumbsup:
Can't really explain why :embrass:
You might get a lit of comments about the empty sky, but somehow I find that it works. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
