Re: Night photo with fake panorama.
How many shots was this?
If you have space I would suggest leaving a bit more at the top and bottom.

Re: Night photo with fake panorama.
If I understand correctly, you cropped a narrow section from a photo to create a panoramic aspect ratio, but this shot is all from one frame. Nit-picking about language a bit, this is not a "fake" panorama, which normally means a photo covering a swatch of a subject with an extremely wide (up to stereographic 360deg) view. From your description, this is a panorama, but not a panostitch. Panostitches are panoramic photos composited from multiple images, a technique generally used to include more detail.
Aesthetically, I can't say this photo works well for me. The building at top looks cramped, and there isn't enough ground to provide a real sense of place. The sky is rather dull, as well. I would try returning to this scene (which has neat lights and a cool silhouette) when the sky's more interesting. Immediately after sunset might be ideal. Note that you can make a panostitch from hand-held photos if you're reasonably steady. Just make sure each photo begins about halfway through the previous one. If you're shooting images 5kpx (5 kilopixels) wide, and you want a final image 15kpx wide, you'll need five shots positioned at roughly 0px, 2.5kpx, 5kpx, 7.5kpx, 10kpx, and 12.5px relative to the final image's width. Photoshop has tools to stitch the images into a panorama.

Re: Night photo with fake panorama.
Good points, and it's a single shot and not a stitched photo. I'll have a go at it later on, I do have a few photos from the same location that day. I have a steady tripod that I use. The subject is some distance away and the longest lens I own is my 180mm.
Will return with another image.
This was taken a year ago and I wouldn't really crop things the same today. Good thing I have all the RAW files saved.
