    I'm not out of the photoshop phase of this project yet. There's still a lot of extra work to do, let alone the cleanup work that I'll do afterwards. My biggest concern is the DataCorp sign, which is starting to look good, but I don't think it's quite there yet.

    I'll be comping this in AE when it's done in PS. Should I do the reflections and speculars there or should I nail that down in PS?

    Ultimately, I'd like to add more of a city scape in the bg, I'm going to add more lights on in the building, and I'm going to try and get cars driving on the street in the FG. The shot will also include in a tilt-up from the street to the DataCorp sign. I'll also remove the canadian flag (nothing against canada, but the flag takes away the illusion of life since it's frozen in place).

    Any thoughts welcome. This is not for a movie, just an exercise piece.

    Update:

    I went a lot further and put a lot more work into the DataCorp sign. I think it looks way better now than before, but I'm still open to any critiques anyone has to offer. I also added highlights to the edges of the buildings to give the feel that the sun is coming up, but it's still dark. Thoughts on that? Thanks in advance!

    I really like the building and the environment, the sign looks pretty good, I thing the light projected behind the building is very similar to the light of the sign which no makes sense so try to make it between orange an yellow to keep the sun light effect and the light of the pole is to yellow it's loosing some realistic looks. the rest is really good I loved.

    A good try but I would really suggest you study more references of night cityscape photographs next time.
