This is a beautiful shot. I really like the foreground. You shouldn't have used the viginetting on this. Still, a very nice image. 7

Not only do I love this wider version but the color palette is just stunning! I LOVE the more detailed look of the buildings and the orange glow of the lighted windows. My eyes just seem to flow over the whole scene and I want to drink it all in. As for the observation deck, I think it's wonderful and provides a depth and perspective not often seen in the run-of-the-mill skyline photo. It also adds a human element to the city. I might even dodge the people and deck to see if I could bring them out a bit more! :) Beautiful shot, Neil.

i like this one better than the one you have available for print. I like seeing all the detail in the city, and the sky is quite intriguing. But for me, the bright orange and yellow sky compete with the foreground. I don't think there's much you could do about that but it makes me wonder what if you desturated more of the color in the foreground (I'm thinking the cyans), toned down the orange and yellow of the city lights, and let the sky be the star? Sounds like a lot of work lol. In any case, I'm envious of you being able to capture a photo with so many interesting details in it.

brilliant original photograph neil ..
i prefer this wider angle but i personally like the colouring in your cropped 'natures palette' .. the lighted windows with the less yellow look & the darker/blacker buildings .. but that's just my opinion ..
that sky is amazing with the clouds forming such wonderful patterns, shapes and colours ..
i see wot you're saying about the viewing area, but i like it .. !!
it would definitely make an excellent print .. :)
i just looked at your canvas version after saying all that and that's the colouring i prefer .. but i still like the wider angle .. :)
