Description
The edges on the tower are too contrasting against the background, it loses that bit of atmospheric perspective I think and pulls you out of the image more. The clouds are a mess but I like how they came out for the most part, the bits of orange and red were a lucky experiment hehe, basically I created a layer mask of the clouds and did a fill with a blue, then inverted it and set it to Overlay, which starts to hit up the areas of the clouds which are darker than pure white.

I think if the beacon were actually thinner I wouldn't have added the second fluffier layer of clouds to fill space. It would've worked stronger without it but since the beacon itself is thicker I felt it needed a stronger balance against that so I brought in another layer of fatty clouds.
