    Maybe better in B&W??

    Would be worth seeing it in b+w. Nice and sharp as can be seen by the cranes.
    Good clouds also.

    Couple of things. Not sure if the image is straight. Check out the leaning building on the right ?
    Pity there are blown out highlights in the centre, but then again if thats the sun in there, you’ll
    probably get some anyhow.

    Tip: You should edit the post and repost in a smaller size image, say 800 at its longest as some members won’t be able
    to see it all at once and it might also take too long for it to load onto their screens.

    Cheers for the tips Mark. Good point about the orientation… I’m not sure if it’s straight or not… the cranes look alright, but I think the building looks that way due to my proximity to it. I kinda like the brightness of the sun in the middle, kinda gives a good contrast to the silhouettes of the cranes and buildings

    You can have the brightness without the blown highlights (assuming you have the RAW and can pull back in the detail). Large areas of blown highlights should typically be avoided, particularly where the end goal is a nice print of the image. This one does suffer from a huge range in contrast, but nothing that a bit of processing couldn’t fix. As per Marks suggestion, I’d be tempted to straighten the building and recover some of the highlights (still keeping the brightness but achieving detail). It’s a well spotted shot, well done :)
