BigFrank  Pro User  says:

Well, I'm not going to delete this just because its HDR. I think the punchy nature of this one actually adds to the image. My only nit-pick is the horizon line being so close to mid-way through the image instead of at the top 3rd of the image.

Kaldoon  Pro User  says:

horizon was a tricky issue @10mm - if go up, 60%+ of your image is sky, if you go down, you will start seeing the railings of the observation deck. i did what i could under the circumstances :)

disagrees with flickr's self-promotional tactics  Pro User  says:

Hdr works for me here, I don't like the crop. The left part image doesn't add anything for me and could be left out. The top should be cropped down a bit.

I was happy with your 316880744_e3cbbbfbae_b panorama, but like this one even more. Cropping off the blank sky would turn it into a panorama format. Certainly do not aim your camera down, as you mentioned above because that will converge the verticals and they are just right as they are. As for those who hate HDR - take no notice. This image is excellent use of HDR. There are lots of bad HDR pictures on Flickr, but this is not one of them.

Incredible! I never saw sunsets like this in NYC... From the ground, the sun just seems to disappear and the light just slowly fades away. I guess from the top of the Rock it's a bit different, though. Well done!
