I actually did this yesterday then realised I'd reached my daily workshop limit, so I can't remember exactly what I did. But I certainly brightened it (and increased the contrast to compensate for this). I may have sharpened it as well, I'm not sure...
Anyway, I hope you like it!

The problem with increasing the brightness and contrast of the temple is that the sky has gone totally white, but seeing as this is only a workshop I didn't think it would matter. I just wanted to show you how much more vivid you can make this beautiful temple look with just a little bit of postprocessing...
I also cropped a tiny but off the left to get the highest tower into a more central position.

Just a simple rotation of 1.1 to get the CN Tower vertical, and some slight sharpening to get the Tower looking a bit more solid.

I levelled the horizon by rotating it 0.7 to the left, and sharpened it slightly, as well as cropping a tiny bit off the left to get it exactly symmmetrical.

Firstly I rotated the picture to get the horizon level. I smoothed the sky to get rid of the graininess whilst sharpening the citadel. It was a little fiddly, and I suspect it may now look a bit artificial and overly-processed. I just thought it'd give it a go...

As this was one of my earlier pictures to be put onto TrekEarth, I have improved in my post-processing skills slightly since I posted it, so I think the colours are a little better here. Most significantly I have rotated the whole pciture 180 degrees - I think this adds something to the vertigo.

I rotated the lighthouse slightly to get it vertical, and cropped off a bit of the left-hand side to get it exactly in the centre of the picture. Hope you like it!
Regards,
Matt

I also cropped off the people so that I could improve the colours - I increased the contrast and saturation. I think the pink and gold has come out much more vividly now. Hope you like it!
