but great job

[Aleks]

Please don't just give me ooo's and aaa's part of being an architect is learning how to listen to the people. Civilians always have comment and criticize buildings a lot, so if you don't like a building in my city tell me which one and why...
Thanks.

I'm taking CGII's aproach to comments and only posting when i don't like something or am really impressed
I don't mind the same in return

I do like the boat entry thing though

[Peter]

I love criticizing, but I thought it offended some people, so I cut back on doing it as often.

So is the building completely done? I don't like how the top just cuts off and is white. You should add something appealing at the top. The plain white bottom could use some detailing as well. I see you have doors there, but no windows.

I would also change the color of that water, unless you're going for a polluted look, which would actually be realstic.

[Mocholate]

my post sounds like i'm not impressed oops

[Aleks]

I do wanna change the color of the water but all the construction is dumping dirt into the water so yeah... Maybe I'll add something it will be kinda hard though because of the shape but I'll try. I wanted to add the Ritz Carlton Logo at the top. Man if I could use Kerk. I would make lights, night day, and the Ritz logo at the top would glow!

I like the building itself, but if you want suggestions here's one: Being that this is a Ritz Carlton, I would make the base of the building/ lobby more elaborate.
