I like this piece.
I mean, you wouldn't get the feeling that it's a HDR from just looking at it. Then again, I may just be looking at a specific HDR type of piece, if that makes sense?
I like the effect of the monotone on the atmosphere and the mood. The variety of shades gives it more depth and I think it's pretty cool how much it contrasts as well, although it's quite easy on the eyes...
Part of me feels that it would be better with a vignette. I also feel as if the sky is a bit overexposed as well.
It's not bad, though. The view is awesome and I think it's fantastic how clear and strong it is. It increases the overall impact to one that is quite great overall.
I don't really have many suggestions... maybe the positioning of the camera, but other than that, it's an awesome shot.

thanks for the wonderful comments
No, it's not your typical strong HDRs. I think the reasons you can't tell is because I made sure there where no halo/glow things around the edges and I also bumped the blacks, giving them a little more power to increase the contrast in those dark areas such as the windows. And with typical HDRs, those areas would be a bit brighter. Really the only way to tell it is one, is to compare to the original shots.
thanks again
