The City ~ downtown Kuala Lumpur

The City... My City
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
This is my downtown area...
a part of the city where I am most familiar with
Where the Kuala Lumpur City Centre or better known as KLCC - shopping mall and twin towers icon sits
Also, currently one of the areas of the city most densely populated with skyscrapers!
Chock-a-block with buildings
Not too happy with that...

What did I do with this photograph?
I cropped it close
All buildings, right...?!!
Did a HDR to bring up the clouds which were already there
Gave it a lomo to enhance the buildings
Put it through some orton to add some dreariness
Boosted to get better definition
Infra-red it to lighten
Slight softness to add the dreariness and 'haze'
...and maybe some other effects...
Without... looking too artificial
The effect I wanted was a hint at post-holocaust without
killing the entire city
You tell me...
Did I achieve it?
