Another dusk between perfect skyscraper. The light is especially good. You must have well-taken care of with the darkening of the corners

Greetings

Lovely stirring of sunrise in this . . the scale of Nature makes the vast city look almost vulnerable.

The water looks like liquid lead, the great sky with the promise of a beautiful day, the mass of skyscrapers in between, and of course the perfect processing, bravo!

The way you shot this, the buildings look like a thicket of trees. Very tall trees on an island peninsula.

I've never used Lightroom and don't really know anything about it but this looks good. The sky looks great but mostly I really like the contrast in the water which has brought out all of the detail and really given some texture to the image. Thanks for your comments yesterday.

AC from New York, United States

Never really thought about playing with HDR, but as far as they go, this image is an example of restraint and taste. Lovely details in the sky and water and just a wonderful cityscape.

Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States

Other than missing the obvious towers, this is a wonderful capture.
Will we ever get over it? Should we? Perhaps not.
Nonetheless, this is fantastic!
