Just right in time for a fantastic sunset.
I like the glow around the dragon - it looks mystic...

Thank you all for your comments, faves and invites!!!!
To be honest, I am a bit annoyed by the halo (not much due to the HDR, but because of some adjustments I did in Photoshop to 'dramatize' the picture). But thanks to HeinzBesen's remark, it does give a mystical glow to the Merlion, so I'll leave it as it is and will not try to correct it!

Nice job! I do think the glow helps balance the attention of the viewer. Love the sky's colors, and tones.

I love the contrast between the orange sky and blue statue. I'm beginning to think that I need to visit Singapore!

You can devide the photo into two sections:
The right side with the grey statue on the blue base and the cloudles grey-blue heaven.... cold section.
The left side with the dramatical clouds, the red fire-ball, the red reflection in the water... warm section.
On the one hand it's a bit disharmonious, on the other hand this fact making it exceeding and very interest.
For me: good job, great focus and an excellent hdr!
