Yeah, I know. This is probably not my best work. It didn't quite turn out the way I intended. And I almost ditched it to shoot something completely different. But after investing a certain amount of time, there's no turning back...
The thing I like the most about creating images like these is the way you get to learn about balancing color and light of the different components. Although I couldn't achive a perfect result I'm satisfied with the outcome nonetheless.

I totally understand how you feel when you spend a certain amount of time on a piece. You have to draw the line at some point and accept that it's good enough. I actually like this, I love the juxtaposition of the 'real world office' type part and the 'dreamy skyline':)
