Taken from approximatley 2000 feet at 200+ mph, on final approach to LaGuardia airport. It was fortunate that this was taken early in the morning so the lighting was spectacular. Chose manual exposure to ensure maximum sharpness. No post production editing required except to balance and enhance contrast.

SOMEbody failed to put away all electronic devices! ;-)

Looks like you lost some detail in the window or exhaust at the top, but it's still an interesting view with good color for this early morning flight.

Focus seems a little soft and the composition seems a little awkward.

Plane shot, ewither that or you are a free fall parachutist, lol. You need to title this slightly to the right. Image has a fifties quality, an shot from an early color movie.

Hmm, is it a skyline if you can't see the sky?

I love NYC so with that said, this image isn't spatacular, it's ok and I am sure getting a helocopter ride early morning was exciting too, but this picture looks more like a tourist image rather then a photographer's image.
The Jersey shore is blurry and the Hudson as well. It would have been nice to see the shadows of the skyline brought out more. Maybe a change in WB or in exposure would have made this come out sharper and brighter as well. Excellent idea just needs a little tweeking.
