The great Empire State building along with a view of Manhatton looks so fabulous in sepia mode. Looking at the picture takes us back to the ages.

*critique club*

I like the shot, there's a lot to look at, perhaps too much to look at. It's hard to get the top of the building as well as the surrounding buildings. The main subject is off center which is good, but the fact that it's cut off at the top takes away a little. The bottom 10% doesn't really show too much, so perhaps it would have worked better including the top of the building while at the same time cutting off just a bit at the bottom (not too much, though).

I agree with the other commentors that the image needs some more contrast. As is, everything looks washed out, or maybe faded is a better word. I like the toning, but keep in mind when it comes to sepia toning, different people like different things.

A tight top-crop and perhaps a little too light on the contrast...

Too soft.....

Interesting choice of colors, but wish there was just little more contrast.

I don't think the color you have picked enhances this image; it makes me think the air is badly poluted.

I think this needs a contrast boost.

i dont really like this shot. The color you shoes is making it looks like a big smog cloud is on the city. Its just not working for me

i think it could use some better contrast

This image just seems too flat to me. It need a large boost in the contrast IMO.

Image lacks contrast. I like the duotone you used, but I think it makes it difficult to really contrast when you have lots of details. I like the subject matter, and the composition is great.

Fuzzy, and the yellow doesn't help. Check the spelling of Manhattan.
