Too bad it wasn't wearing the big ape today! Good control of perspective.

beatufully massed but the thin white details at the slight angles creates a jangly effect due to pixilation of the screen. I bet this would win in a print competition, but your shot is hurt by being displayed on screen.

a bit too oversharpened. interesting composition, wish the sky was darker near the top to balance the dark buildings at the bottom.

Color would have really improved this photo.

Not sure about the perspective distortion, and you angling of the shot to keep the Empire State vretical at such expense to the other buildings. I think that more compsromise would have been acceptable, but that's difficult to be certain of without trying it. There are also tools to help correct such phenomena, though they can be tricky to use.

And something's gone badly wrong ith the processing somewhere, I feel - or even if it's deliberate, it just looks like a mistake. All those jagged lines, and compression artefacts ... and using just under a third of the available data.

Nice contrast between the light and dark portions but shapening artefacts are a bit distraction. Good sense of composition.

Appealing composition good B&W. Might cosider using another dowsampling algorythm in order to reduce jaggies.
