Well that's kinda fun, were they doing it for any reason or just to be nice?

Very urban shot. I don't think we have any of these rooftop water towers in California (at last Southern California). They topple in earthquakes, I guess.

No silhouette here, either. Great, gritty, dusky shot. Very interesting structure.

Fresno, California, the nearest 'major' city to me, is such a boring place that one of its old water towers is a major landmark. Just a random note.

I love all of your city shots; this one is interesting because it's not something you'd expect to see above all the urban scenery. Are any of these actually still in use?

Also, it's interesting, looking at the other comments, the difference in monitor calibrations: This is not a silhouette on my machine.

A bit of a departure for you... I love the silhouette. Quite a nice image for NYC.

She really looks deep in thought about something, the slouched back, hands on her lap. Nice job of catching alot of emotion (even if she was just trying to not feel so stuffed! haha).

lol - love that you got the group hug. THAT would have been the picture to see. I think this is fine without their feet. It allows you to bring the focus in closer to the main subject of your photo. GREAT story!

Out of curiousity - did you ask them WHY they were doing this?

What catches my attention more is the wall and shadows. Great detail and texture on that wall. Wonderful lighting.

Great processing. LOVE the reflections - especially the one that says "Manhattan". Great art piece and perfect NYC slice of life photo.
