So this is a really damn impressive piece overall, but there are a few things that bug me, and it's mostly due to the indirect lighting.
It would appear from bounce lighting that there is a large presence of blue in this scene, where it appears to be none. The most glaring issue here is in the background buildings. Not only are the bluer than the should, but they're also far lighter in comparison to the surroundings. Their proximity to a large highlight (in this case the Sun), the only way it could have such light values was if it was emitting light itself. I'm all for a high dynamic range of colours, but that part just seems off.
Similarly, in the foreground buildings, although I understand the need to add some blue tint to strike a nice balance between a cool and warm palette, I think it would be beneficial if that part was a tad darker and yellower.
However those are some really impressive details in the center piece, and and I think the piece really shines. Bloom is also applied extremely elegantly, especially on the dome close to the center of the piece. Not overpowering, but definitely noticeable.
Overall, great piece, congrats!

the scenery are well drawn in this shot!,i can see the living people in this image clearly and wonderfully!.the view is very dynamic with the yellowish sky of the sunsets accompanying this beauty view!! the details of the building are well-drawn too,but i guess too flat because it has less decorated...but the building interior/exterior can cover that one! the flags around the building adds the authentic empire looking-dattebayou! with many birds flying around the complex that makes this picture more living,the riverbank light reflection...i guess there's something missing.... it seems lack of the activities (i only saw 2 boats) but the reflection can vanish it up! really good work!

What a stunning and beautiful city. I love the bright light; it looks both very welcoming and slightly intimidating.

I love panoramic illustrations for cities. I always had suck a trouble doing them myself xD I kinda find it hard to know where to simplify and where to keep the fine details.
Mind if I ask how long these kind of illustration take you?
