Here's what I've got so far. They grey is meant to be temporary but I think I'm getting used to it, we'll see.

I'm not quite sure about the lighting on the tower, looks a bit wrong perhaps. Neither am I sure what'll happen in the background, some landscape maybe.

 

Anyway, any suggestions?

 

Any critics? i really need some, im not full satisfied

the end of the lighting is not completed

@drZool: Ooh, love the exaggerated perspective.
