Comment. Looks nice, but I find it disappointingly small. The author seems to be a small-picture-uploader who hasn't discoverd / is avoiding commons. --

Weak oppose I find the funicular distracting, it looks too big when compared to the downtown core. Image tilted slightly to the right. The water doesn't look right either - is it artifacts or does the river natuarlly look like that? Higher resolution would be better. --

What is your opinion on the overall colour balance issue, rather than just the river? Is
this edit inaccurate? If the photo was taken around one hour from sunset, then I would expect it to look reasonably neutral (maybe ever-so-slightly more warm than the edit, but cooler than the original) as the blue light scattering effect doesn't usually kick in until a bit closer to sunset. As for the colour of the river, I would imagine that it depends on the weather - if there is a blue sky, the river will reflect more blue.

Oppose per water artifacts mentioned by UB, and the color balance is off, unless the photo was taken around dusk or dawn, which seems unlikely, given the angle of the shadows. Might change to weak oppose if this were fixed.

Actually, this shot is taken from the west looking east. That's pretty much how you'd expect things to look at sunset.
Oppose. Yeah, colour balance is way off on this one and image quality is a bit poor for a DSLR shot. Nice composition, but I've seen much nicer shots at dusk. This one just looks a bit flat.

You REALLY shouldn't upload edits over the picture. For one thing, this shot is taken from just west of Pittsburgh, looking east, so it could very well have been taken at Sunset, with the sun behind the photographer.
Uploading a significant edit over a previous filename is not a good idea, particularly while a featured picture candidacy is underway. In future, please upload under a new filename with a summary of the changes in the edit notes and a link back to the original image.

Weak oppose. The
EXIF timestamp reported at Commons is "15:38, 19 May 2008", although the time zone could be in error.
Sunset was 20:34 EDT. The color balance looks too warm to me. It also looks to me like there's a slight clockwise tilt. This is an accessible and popular place to photograph the Pittsburgh skyline, so the photo should be of the very highest quality, and preferably at a higher resolution. --
