looks nice at thumbnail size but either your resize went wrong or you just have a lot of noise in this. e.g. jpeg artifacts (?) around the bright top of the highrise on the right look terrible. 4

Past Rush Hour

thank you all for the great comments and scores! I'm almost glad I didn't win - there wouldn't be much chance of improvement that way ;-) actually, it's probably all down from here anyway...
I took the shot during a nice dinner at Metrazur, the restaurant on the East Balcony. It's a truly splendid way to combine a hobby with a "buzzing meal". For those of you who've never been to NYC, GCT is definitely a place to go when you do get here, dinner of course optional. This terminal's cathedral-like hall, the buzz and mumbling of the crowd (I'd say it doesn't even get loud during rush hour), the light, the masses pouring out into the hall from arriving commuter trains - simply beautiful.
The picture was taken using the ballustrade as a tripod substitute, which might explain the little tilt and the camera was set to automatic, no flash of course. My camera doesn't have any manual settings apart from white balance and exposure correction and I measured the light in different places till I got the picture I wanted instead of playing with exposure bias values.

It's all FEAR from here... good luck everyone!

very "city", extremely well framed, great blue tones but not too much "life" in the shot - try architecture...? 6

definitely cool-bizzare, maybe a bit off topic?
