Lots to like about this shot - the diagonal, the equal emphasis on the cool-looking benches and Manhattan, and the processing.

I'd suggest moving "New York" to the right side. Above the buildings, the upper left corner ends up very dense while the upper right is empty. To keep the text balanced, then I'd move the lower text over to the left.

Nice shot of the lights and waterfront, colors, especially given the poor shooting conditions during the week in the northeast. I think that the fence is a little too dominant, that you should back up from it just a bit to lessen it's proportions.

JPR version of this is one of my all time favorites at DPC. This version isn't quite as dramatic but it's still a very good shot. Good luck!

I started off not liking this shot when I saw the BG focus was so soft, but the more I looked, I realized that it really works here. Everything on this side of the fence is clear and looks photographic. The other side of the fence is out of focus just enough to make it look like an illustration. Even the text has the same qualities, sharp on the bottom right and slightly soft on the upper left. Nice job.
