Yes, I am still playing with my skyline pics. Actually, I reshot these last night BUT I have two monitors and both are showing drastically different colors. I am looking for a cobalt blue sky. Thanks for your help and someday soon I'll get around to calibrating my monitors.

Thanks, Keith. I just didn't want it being purple or looking like something out of a cartoon.

Besides whether the colors look right, this is one fine photo: one of the best Fort Worth night skyline shots I've seen. WTG.
