Alright here's what i have to say...
For the number of times that I have been up there I am fully understanding of the air quality of which you need to shoot through. At first, to me this seemed like such a pain...I'd go up there on a partly cloudy day and have fog rushing through and this and that. After my fifth or sixth time up to shoot for a few hours, I began to work with the fog and the clouds like you have here, giving your shot a soft feel to it. Unfortunately, all of my shots up there were taken with my film camera so I do not have any to show, but i ended up with a published photo of the Chrysler Building peeking above a fog ensrhrouded NYC. Now specifically for yours, at first I thought that I wanted more detail in the buildings, but the abstracity (im making that word up but you know what i mean) of the piece is what makes it effective. I think the shot is very good, although I would have liked to see it with 2/3 fore ground and 1/3 background (if you waited another 15 minutes on the sunset...but that is just personal preference and what I am used to. Setting your camera to a lower aperture would have made the sun beams hexagonal if you wanted that effect, but this still is a nice work and well done. Keep it up and go back on a day that you think is impossible to shoot on, you might be surprised.
Edits for spelling.
Regards,
Lee
