I normally hate shots like this. I was stuck in traffic on my way home and the sky was perfect so I took a break. I don't take many landscape shots, so critique the fuck out of this!

I actually like it a lot. My only critique is the damn people in there. I'd love to see the same shot with an empty building or maybe just a couple together inside there.

What he said. Although I think there's too much orange sky. Maybe a B&W or a temp adjustment would help...

What he said... Now that he mentioned the orange it does seem a little blown out, but I really can't hold that against you. That's kind of subjective because I think the shot still works just find with it, it's just one of those OCD things that the actual photog might want to fix.

I like the orange. I'd like to have seen a longer exposure, though, to smooth that water.

Thanks for the input guys, I'll play around with it more next time I have my computer set up.

As for longer exposure: I actually took this shot a few times, but this was the first one and the sky was the nicest in it, so I used this one, despite the fact that it was shot at f/8 and ISO 400 whereas the others were f/11 and ISO50. I lost the red in the clouds really quick.
