Sunset colors

I went to art school, I think I will use my license ;). I do understand his comments and why they would make it more realistic. And I greatly appreciate his input. I just choose to go artsy and over the top. I may add some sun glare on the windows as he suggested.

Ryan gave you soe pretty solid advice there, Id follow all of it.

I took some of your advice some. Some advice I ignored in favor of artistic license ;) The adding darkness to the base really helped thanks. Anyone else have opinions? I would like to hear from everyone.

The lighting looks pretty jacked up. A few comments: 1. The sky looks like it's on fire (read, nuclear holocaust). Grab a better background plate - one with a hard golden horizon but gradients back to a dark blue/purple. 2. It appears that the sun in your background is behind the building, but the building's face is front lit? Contradiction? If you want the front to be lit with a golden hue, then the background will be dark blue. Below is an image that I reference (not sure of the author) that depicts different times of day with a decent lighting feel. 3. The building itself should have more contrast and depth. For a sunset, the angle of the sun is very low in the sky. Since this appears to be in an urban setting, this would mean the bottom portion of the building would most likely be in shadow. You'll need street lamps and cars to light up the lower portion of the scene. 4. Try to get a dramatic glint of the sun off of the glass - helps infuse energy into the rendering.
