Chris Parr from Jefferson City, United States
Beautiful shot JJ. I always wonder when I see skyline shots taken late at night or very early in the morning, are there really people in all of those lit up places, or did they just leave the lights on? Either way, it's always a wonderful effect.

I don't know. I think the lighting is good. Like the lens distortion. Gives it a less ridged feel.

What an outstanding photo. If I were a New Yorker and lived or worked in one of those buildings I'd love to own a copy of this. Maybe there is a way for you to market some of your photogarapy.

What a gorgeous sight this is! I love blue, and this is marvelous ... cleaning crews perhaps in those lighted offices?
I'd love to see this same shot in broad daylight so the boats show up. :D

The shot has come out to be very good. Like the way you've given the angle to the building. Looks like they are all floating in the sea.

Great light and colors. The tall sail-ships looks rather small compared to the high rises.
