  • great scene! maby the Epire building should have been more centered, but yet a breathtaking view.

  • @minimodi : I knew folks would notice it and Im glad that you note that the Empire is a little off center. Its actually on purpose. I have another shot here that has the Empire in the center and Im going for something a little different. Whether it works or not Im not sure, but I have to say I do like it slightly off center.

    Thanks all as always!

    Devyn @ 12-27-2009
  • Awesome! Especially in terms of depth & toning.

  • As many times as I've seen images of that structure in the center it just now dawned on me that there is a smaller one that looks nearly identical in Columbus, Ohio. It's the state building; or at least it used to be the state building. Gorgeous image.

  • off center is the ticket. the cluster of buildings would look weird if there was sanity in the picture
    darrell dawson @ 12-27-2009

    joshi daniel @ 12-28-2009

  • Theres that Friskytint :) you should have it patented. Is that smog or fog in the background? The left of the image looks a little empty because its darker. Where was this shot from?
    ChrisK @ 12-28-2009
  • Delighted that you kept the Empire State off-centre, otherwise the image would have become one of two halves. Like the the blueness, it gives a cool image in every sense of the word.

  • Absolutely outstanding photo mate
    B.J. @ 12-28-2009
  • Fantastic !
    F. @ 12-28-2009
  • Could be a topic? I suppose so, but it's always a challenge to make such famous images stand out. The Empire State as rarely seen before! I like this shot very much. I think the slightly off centered touch works just fine.... Nice tone work too.
    mike @ 12-28-2009
  • Ahhh man, this is just fantastic.
    Luis @ 12-28-2009
  • Stunning capture, the Empire State Building looks ominous especially with the excellent light and tones.
    John Maslowski @ 12-28-2009
  • Lovely view!
    Krista @ 12-28-2009

    MARIANA @ 12-29-2009
  • Beautiful! Love the tones here. For some reason I imagine this as a cityscape on another world. Nicely done.
    Lorissa @ 12-29-2009
  • gorgeous!
    a phantastic view over these imposing buildings!
    The cyan makes it timeless.
    grapf @ 12-30-2009
  • Great view of it, wonderful post. I have a good friend whose uncle owned this building - twice! That was quite a while back though. Very nice image to view.
    Bob Towery @ 12-30-2009

  • some beautiful tones for this famous view. Very good job once again !
    Boris @ 01-02-2010
  • oh wow ... beautiful shot! love the haze behind the Empire State Building ...
    crash @ 01-04-2010
  • Love when things that are usually meant to be the focus don't take the central point. In this case, I like that the Empire is not in the middle of your frame. Adds a little extra character, and allows the rest of the building to shine a little.
    enoxisureka @ 01-05-2010
  • One of best photos with this view!
    aleksarus @ 01-13-2010
  • Nice capture! The Rockefeller Center is a great place to get a nice view on Manhattan. Stood there shortly before XMas, sadly is was a very misty day :/

    Fabian @ 01-17-2010
  • Nice view! That's funny, a friend take a shot at the same place, and I post-processed it. Have a look ! ;)
