Hi Charles - This is a masterful composition.  It is truly inspiring, even for a New Yorker like me.  So much so that I am going to have a go at this with my Hasselblad Superwide and TMax one evening. This is a photo that people would love to have in their home on their wall to remind them of the energy of a metropolis like New York (I might have waited for the guy with the ladder to leave the block, but that's just a detail).  It would certainly make a valuable stock photo.  It has a great POV and a lot of energy. And it most certainly puts you in NYC.  Brilliant.

 

Having said all of this, I think that you have over-processed the image.  There are halos around the edges of the museum and the edges of the image are burned.  Like the other image from the Brooklyn Bridge, I would suggest hat you start from scratch and aim for the great contrast that you've achieved with this rendition but make sure that all of the sky has the same tonal value (at least within reason).  A powerful shot like this speaks for itself and less is certainly more.

And if you are using Silver Efex - STOP IT!!  You don't need it. 

 

I will end by saying that it seems as though you live outside of NYC and had a visit here recently.  Assuming this is true, the perspectives of NYC that you've captured are quite impressive and it was nice of you to share them.

 

Best,

adam

Thanks Adam! Yes, Thanks for the compliment and advice. I'll take the advice to heart. I made two trips to NYC last year. Want to go back this coming year. I took about twenty shots to get the traffic. Very cold and wet. But fun!

I'd love to go shooting with you the next time you are in town...
