What I like best in this take is the lack of Blue! The missing blue sky. Why? Because the color mixture within the sky compliments the mixture within the buildings, and vice versa.
You couldn't done that any better with a brush.

This is great view that really shows just how packed full the city is of buildings and interesting architecture. I like the overcast tones and how the background seems to go on forever.

This is a magnificent capture of a roof top view of New York City. I like the perfect aperture drawing us into this scene. A wonderful composition and perspective captured under really interest cloud formations with slight blue in the horizon. Your framing is perfect and photo well composed. Your exposure and white balance are excellent. What gorgeous photography from Trump Tower. This is outstanding photography and thanks for sharing.

Very well done. I like how the V shape of the mass of buildings stands out in the center. Levels and curves has done its magic for great detail in this shot already having great DOF and clarity.

A great city view photo. I like the clouds covering the sky. The different size buildings are interesting to look at. You fit a lot into the photo.

Wow, this is a stunning view! The cloudy sky adds a moody touch and elevates the image from average to striking. Perhaps edit the cast of the colors so it doesn't look so yellow?

Outstanding Capture Nik!
One of the best roof top shots of New York I have seen on here.
Focus, Exposure, details, POV and Controlled white balance are all spot on here.
Love the moody sky in the distance.
Fine Capture ;)

This has good initial impact, great depth of field, nice sharp focus, well framed, but because of the cloudy sky, not much contrast. If Mother Nature had given blue skies that day mixed with the clouds it definitely would have helped compliment your excellent eye and technical skills. Great piece of journalism photography.
