 A view of NYC with the George Washington Bridge taken from Fort Lee, NJ. This was taken from my grandma's 30th floor apartment. This is also a spectacular view at night, but I liked the warmth of this photo.

The Critique Club

When I first saw your photo I felt immediately that this cityscape was composed of such warm colours that all the harshness of the normal urban landscape is brushed away and the human scale seems to come back. Your composition is good with the bridge leading the eye into the city which stretches as far as the eye can see. The water makes a good base for the warmth of the cityscape. Te focus is good with a wealth of detail that I am sure will come up on a good print—there are no digital artefacts and your exposure seems spot on with detail in the shadows and a warm glow from the clouds in the sky.

As you can see from the comments most people enjoy the picture postcard feel to your photo and indeed I am sure that the quality is there. The only criticism that I can make is that there are no surprises in your photo—I know this is difficult but the picture seems to cry out for an aeroplane or a boat—but this is nitpicking—Well done on a lovely urban landscape

I'm actually IN this picture!!!! My apartment is in the smaller building between the second and third of the three towers (they are Columbia student housing) far right side.

A nice panorama. The problem is that this type of image is quite abundant.

And what a view it is. What city is it? Shame the sky didn't have a lot of beautiful blues in it. Love the shadow on the bank and part of the buildings. Real nice shot. Nice 8. PTL

A very nice photo - I guess the cars and bridge qualify for the travel but I think the photo is a nice scenic photo on it's own.
