Beautiful images.

Like you, I feel comfortable here on this forum. Welcome.

Can't whack a good sunset, and you've just the right amount of elements with which to balance the intense red of the sky, and provide some much needed points of interest. I like the roller coaster effect of the skyline, starting at the towers on the right and leading the eye across the frame to the stadium then onto the bridge where you have the tower of the bridge balancing the the right hand towers, I like the lit up portion of the stadium, as it attracts and holds the eye at just the right position in the frame, and a touch of contrasting colour and illumination against the overall red cast of the sky and water.

Picture two, exciting shapes and colours in these most well defined buildings, which are varied both in their shapes and illumination. The building on the right acts like a full stop keeping our attention fixed on this well structured group of buildings, like the way it reflects the sky in its glass frontage, and contrasts with, and balances the gold topped building on the left. Architectural photography doesn't come much better than this, and the reflections add even more impact to the colour of the whole scene.

I agree with what has been said.  They are beautiful pictures.  I like the reflection in the bottom one.  Keep up the good work!
