Wish the Citgo sign wasn't there. Great picture anyway.

Nice tones, sharp and clean. Very nice shot. As a Yankees fan I hope it topples into the water, but I can hardly think of a nicer photo for the sad citizens to reflect on.

The blue is so deep The greenery is in a perfect zone, and even that Citgo sign works. Nice shot.

Good compositon but looks slightly under exposed to me. I think a bump in exposure would bring out lots of detail in the trees and some in the sky too.
